Rejected petition Put metal detectors in all High Schools to detect knifes and sharp weapons

We have lost control of the youth of today, how do they think it is ok to carry a knife to school and murder another child?

More details

We are losing so many innocent young lives to stabbings. Families are being torn apart, children losing their friends.

It is nearly every week you hear about a new stabbing now, another young life gone far too soon, this needs to stop!
