According to the authors, both former high school teachers, all too often passing a test in third period requires a nurse and a specimen cup. They believe time and money school districts spend on surveillance cameras, armed guards, strip searches, locker searches, drug-sniffing dogs and metal detectors indicate a shift from education to militarization or even incarceration as the preferred way of life for American's youth and assert these resources could be better spent on the core issues in society that cause problems. They include questions for review and critical thinking with each chapter and urge teens not to give up but to become active in issues of legal rights.
