    mohandasgandhi: More and more US schools have police patrolling the corridors. Pupils are being arrested for throwing paper planes and failing to pick up crumbs from the canteen floor. Why is the state criminalising normal childhood behaviour? If this was protocol while you were in school, how many of you would have been arrested? I would have been arrested about every other day. This is an amazing story. What the actual fuck. I had to double check to make sure this wasn’t The Onion. I really, really wish it was.
