Ban Evil at Schools

Lexington schools are considering banning evil at schools. And of course, when I speak of evil, I'm not talking about The Great Evil (Bush), but all that is evil, smoking.

They are considering making their school "100% tobacco free," meaning no one, including teachers and administrators, will be able to use any tobacco on school grounds. Since tobacco is a legal substance, I'm not quite sure how this is possible for a government agency to ban a legal activity on it's own grounds. Of course, this is perfectly legal for a private company to do this, but government isn't a private company and has it's own rules.

In addition, since this is government, they don't have to follow ANY rules, because they just make up any rules as they see fit. As long as NC is led by Democrats, no one will complain -- especially since this is not only evil, it's "for the children" which means it's perfectly okay, no matter what.

I wonder what it would be like to live in a truly free country.

1 It has been this way a longtime in Florida. You may not even smoke within 500 feet of the school. If a parent has tobacco in their car they can be fined.

2 In their CAR? That's utter insanity. I don't even know what to say to that one. They can fine ME for driving by a school, smoking IN MY CAR? I'm beyond words.

3 Now the kids will bring airplane bottles to school instead.

Don't you just love liberalism?

7 IN NH Ogre it's illegal to smoke on school grounds...even in your car.

Where I work, we DO have a school on our grounds but we CAN smoke in our own vehicles....for now.
It's been this way for about 3 years now.
Before there were no laws, but now....

***sigh***

8 I think I see an option for non-violent resistance. That's absolutely absurd. There is absolutely no possible way that I can injure a child while chewing tobacco in my car while driving past a school. Utter and complete insanity. How do people defend such total crap?
