| They led a national march. Now Parkland students return to a school they say 'feels like jail' |

| Students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School return to class Monday, their first day back since organizing one of the largest youth-led protests in US history. But these teenagers won't be returning to a normal high school experience. Instead, they'll be met with strict security measures which are intended to protect them from another mass shooting but have some students feeling as if they'll be learning in a prison. "Going to school is really so hard, and now it's going to be so much worse," said Isabelle Robinson, a senior. "A lot of the people I've talked to are dreading going back." Constitutional issues are simple - geometry is complicated. |

| #5 If only they got those few little gun law changes, they wouldn't need all these security measures that make them feel confined. Poor dears. |

| #4 I've mentioned it before. I drove past Columbine a few months after the shooting there. I looked like ADX Florence but without the fence and towers. The whole vibe had to contribute to what went down there. It's not practical, I know, but smaller, more manageable schools are something that should be getting a look. In the age of Amazon and social media, the brick n mortar school is probably obsolete. |
