Let Kids Vote Only if Districts Give Them that Vote

   Yes, I think it worthy that the teenagers decide their own fate. They are not only the ones at risk, but it is they who are leading the protests calling for action against school shootings.
   But, there is a difference between saying they should make the decision, period, and saying school districts nationwide each should decide if their students should decide what measures are taken at their schools.
   In the blogs I posted, I said:
   Tuesday: "So, let each school decide. Perhaps the school administrators make the decision, perhaps the parents do   -- and perhaps some schools would let the students, themselves, cast the votes on whether to have the metal detectors."
   Wednesday:
   "Let communities nationwide decide if the students in their schools will make the choices."
   If someone were to represent my position, they would not be fully honest, nor accurate, unless they included the provision that the individual school districts should say whether students get the say.
