      Eh, I know US-bashing is really popular here, but it has to be at least a little bit believable to be funny.

        Not only do i work in a district that uses metal detectors, but employs security guards to keep the kids in line. Even down to elementary level.

        My highschool literally had those and I had to wait in a long-ass line everyday before school, and if students are late, they get blamed for it, I’m not US-Bashing, its just the truth.

        Example (this one is not my school btw):

          There’s absolutely no way that’s true.
