Freedom vs. Safety (School Security)

Brooklyn Theatre Arts High School takes up a whole city block in Canarsie, Brooklyn.  Every single one of the over 2000 students have to pass through metal detectors each morning.  A lot of students feel upset about the security system, and how we get treated by the security guards.  The Rootz Crew at BTAHS decided to explore this issue of scanning and police in school.  We spent several months working on this piece, starting with reading news articles about school violence and policing, then interviewing, listening to our tapes, and deciding on our audience and goal of the story.  We hope you like it - check it out!
