I'm sorry, state policy or no, I believe this is a human rights violation. These "rules" can all be made to seem vaguely reasonable until you try applying them anywhere else. Given that it's not only teens who can be unstable, violent, hostile, disturbed, and do bad things, and that it's not only at school they might do these things... let's see. Supposing Nejeda goes to a movie with her friends after school. Perhaps she should check her supplies with the bus driver, in case she tries to sell some insulin to the rubbie sitting behind her. At the theatre, she should leave her meter and insulin at the ticket booth, because what if she stabbed a patron in a rage??? (Too bad if she wants popcorn.) How would the adults among us like to have to keep our meter and supplies at the HR office, and "sign in" to use them? Hmm, what about restaurant meals? I guess the cashier or chef better keep ahold of your stuff.

for Gawd's sake.
