Gang violence in a middle school

They're cracking down. One of the things they did was get everyone in the same uniform. According to a guy from NYU who studied urban reform, he said people feel safer in a uniform, orderly environment. For the most part true. Some people might feel insane. But anyway:

"It's cool to have more support in school," he said. "We have more people coming to help."

He was thrilled to try on the new sneakers, distributed last month.

"You have dirty shoes and people will joke on you," Terrell said. "And now they can't joke on your shoes because they're new, and they got them on too."

That was so cute. This is from the LA Times.
