The board of education for the Detroit Public Schools Community District opposes allowing concealed weapons to be carried in schools, a bill that would allow charter schools to share revenue from a special millage, and any future attempt to dilute the power of locally elected school board members.
Those were among the positions the board took during a meeting this week in which members set their legislative agenda.
"The recommendation would be to oppose allowing individuals other than officers to bring concealed weapons to schools," Superintendent Nikolai Vitti said. |

The school board would like to register their opposition to any measure that might reduce the power of the school board.
-Gee, what a surprise. |

TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
