"Intent to sell"? I wonder how that charge will stand. Maybe David Delgiorno is an administrative "plant" to liven up their position on zoning? Maybe David's role model is Rush Limbaugh? Although I'm glad the drugs were not purveyed to other students, I lament the militarized atmosphere of our school campuses with students force-marched from class to interrogation rooms where they're subject to pat-down searches based on "a tip" from an informer. Snitching and snooping. The chain-link fences, gates with signs announcing the elimination of personal rights, the constant police presence shows better than FCAT scores what we're about with public education. Public schools in Naples have increasingly come to resemble the military and prison systems with their hiring of military retirees as school administrators and heavy investment in security apparatus--metal detectors, high-tech student IDs, barbed wire fences, and real-time Internet-based or hidden mobile surveillance cameras--plus, their school uniforms, security consultants, surprise searches, and the presence of police on campuses. Public schooling has been tied to local property wealth and hence, unequally distributed as a resource. Go to the football games and look closely at the differences between say the band instruments in the hands of Lely High School's students and those in the hands of BCHS's students. Many of LHS's instruments are held together with duct tape. How are are high schools equal? From the military perspective it's easy to see equality. What is going to be the "product" of our schools? Widgets? Soldiers? Do we promote a vision of a world in which education is classified as an issue of national security? Why does our community want soldiers rather than unemployed Ph.D.s in the classrooms? And so many in our community believe the appropriate response to the zoning issue is "suck it up" and do what you're told. Are our administrators public servants? Or bosses of the public? With our unerasable homeland security dossiers on each of us, David (even though he's only 17) is going to have a tough time. Maybe he'll have a future in sales.
