Chester Schools Take Gun Violence Pledge
Two local schools and one local police department will meet with join with the U.S. Attorney’s Office this week as part of a national campaign to obtain pledges against gun violence.Middle and high school students will sign a voluntary pledge promising that they will never take a gun to school, will never resolve a dispute with a gun, and will use their influence to prevent friends from using guns to resolve disputes.
What the hell good is this going do? This reminds of those stupid “prom promises” they would always ask us to sign back in high school pledging that we wouldn’t drink on prom night, even though half the kids that signed it did it anyway. This is just a feel good measure that won’t accomplish anything in the long run.
