    At my 2 daughter's high school, one transgender person wanted to switch locker rooms, and everybody (except the students) flipped a shit. Now the locker rooms are closed to everyone except the sports programs...

    I used to carry a straw in my pocket for self-defense, but the risk of injury was just too great, so I've switched to personal grenade.

    Well of course, a straw might puncture the plastic safety bubbles they have planned.

    I still have nightmares from my old school, when a rival gang would jump out of their cars with their bendable straws drawn. Thank god the SWAT team would arrive with their military surplus pea shooters! The horror! The horror!

    My son tells me the kids continue to use them - they hide them from the yard narcs (or "yard aids" are they now call them in 2017).

    But why are they banned in the first place?

    Makes me think of one of my "inventions" back when I was about 6. Straw + Tootsie Pop stick + sewing needle = blow gun. Just shot at inanimate targets though. (And when my Mom wasn't looking.)

    @Dino Next they'll come for ball point pens and rollerballs, for the same reasons. I shudder to think what an enterprising student might do with a keyboard. Cricket anyone?

    Soon students will be left writing assignments on clay tablets with their fingers.

    They just let us use crayons here at the asylum. No injuries - yet.
