I love it because it kills two birds with one stone, I hate it because it puts those DEA creeps in contact with impressionable young kids on a regular basis.

Take the money and equipment but the personnel I'm not so sure about, that would need to be done on an individual basis.

I also am not comfortable turning schools into armed fortresses, the further down that road we venture the harder it will be to turn around and the further back.

You should put this up as an OP, it's an idea worth discussing.
