HISD Backpack Ban

05182007_backpack.jpgIn order to maintain a sense of order during the last week of school, HISD has banned the bringing of backpacks to school at the following campus'. Those miscreants trying to have fun will have to find some other means of smuggling silly string into class - or packing heat, whichever the case may be. Fortunately, duffel bags and gym bags were not mentioned in the article we read, just saying. Houstonist was particularly amused to find HISD High School for Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice on the list, but, that's just us. Good thing kids don't really need the books they would carry in those backpacks for the next week, we guess.
