Apparently Purses Are Dangerous

An Indiana high school has decided to no longer allow girls to carry purses.

(Students) say the principal made an announcement on the first day of school notifying students that all purses -- and backpacks, for that matter -- would have to be left in lockers.

"They said that it was a threat to the students," Goetz said. "And that they needed to stay in the lockers."

"People even got yelled at for carrying fanny packs and too big of a pencil holder, which is ridiculous," said sophomore Emily Brown.

So now carrying a purse is a threat to students. When are schools going to realize that banning purses is not going to deter murderers from bringing a weapon on campus? If someone is planning on murdering someone else, they are not going to care if purses are not allowed in the classroom.
