Dear Editor,

The police raids on Stratford High School in South Carolina on 5
November 2003 seems to be a precursor to what is coming to other
schools, and institutions across America. A great prophet of our times once
said ‘be aware of what you see happening on distant shores, because soon it will be knocking at your door.”
The Associated Press may never have reported this incident---had there
been no surveillance cameras at Stratford High School showing students
being ordered to the floor. In addition, with police guns pointed at
children, with drugs dogs, and police searching the students.
After police searched about 100 students, no drugs were found, and no
one was arrested. However, several civil suits have been filed in
federal court, and Rev. Jessie Jackson is now being criticized by the media
as Rev. Martin L. King Jr. by the media for helping the least among us.
Yet, after he was murdered----they praised him.
We should not in good conscious ignore the children at Stratford High
School and their constitutional rights. Because when Law Enforcement
comes into our children schools and institutions under the banner of
“Routine Police Procedure,” how will we react?
It appears that our freedom in America is dissolving, and we are
becoming a police state. Just try submitting an editorial or controversial
opinion column against the status quo, and see if America’s media
conglomerate will publish opposing views.

Wake-up America---that’s not coffee in your cup!
