Felons should not be allowed to come to school along with the general population for the sole reason that they are dangerous people.

All types of people can be found at school; the athletes, the hard workers, and the slackers, but among all of these different categories, where are the felons, who are they and should they be allowed to come to school along with us?

Although there are a few good people out there trying to get their lives back on track, there are still those who are tempted to commit crimes.

Should students on campus have to worry about being robbed or hurt by some thug who so happens not to have money to buy beer or his next hit of drugs?

Students should be able to come to school and feel safe to roam around campus or the parking lots whether it is at 8 a.m. or 8 p.m.

If the general population feels that felons deserve another chance, then there should be some regulations set to make it harder for them to attend, such as later enrollment dates and a restriction in the amount of units they can take.

Another plan could be to create smaller schools in which these felons can attend without having to make the general population feel uncomfortable and that way people would know where these felons can be found and feel safer.

People come from different parts of the greater Los Angeles area, some that are good and some which are best avoided, which brings in people that are more likely to have a criminal background.

In general not all people who were once convicts bad, and not everyone in the general population is a model citizen.

Those who have been caught are known not only to be dangerous, but they can no longer be trusted and therefore should not be allowed near other students who are vulnerable and scared of possibly being attacked or robbed like in past cases on campus.
