I agree totally. I'm willing to compromise, (not eliminate) some freedoms in the name of safety. Sure it incontinences most, but the 1 or 2 it might catch are worth it.
I had my pocket knife confiscated at Kings Island, (theme park). They gave me a claim ticket and told me I could pick it up when I left. As we stood in line with our tickets a guy came running out of the crowd, jumped one of the terminals and kept running. One of the security personnel tackled him, and 1/2 second later 3-4 more were on him like SOS. Everybody was like WOW! One guy spoke up and said, "what a great place to kill a bunch of innocent people" Needless to say tons of security staff came from everywhere and the metal detectors were manned with 3-4 staff each. It took us about an additional 15-20 minutes extra to get in the park, but to protect the lives of my family it's worth it, (it was quick and painless getting my knife back when we left by the way.)
As far as comments in School, it's the context that needs to be examined not necessarily the content. Romeo & Juliet, along with Othello are read/discussed and those are certainly violent/graphic stories.
