Do we really want to go to a school that forces us to walk through a metal detector every day or where the administration is allowed to search our bags or lockers whenever they want? what is this, a prison or a school? i know the administration is concerned about our safety and that recent incidents at our school have made them feel that metal detectors and surprise searches are the only ways to keep us safe. but is giving up our right to privacy a good alternative? i personally don't feel any safer walking through a metal detector on my way to first period. i think there are other ways to keep us safe while at the same time respecting our right to privacy. which phrase best describes the tone of this example?
