It notes broad laws like disturbing schools contribute to arrests statewide, with 265 charges in Charleston County during 2014-15 and a 9 year old among the arrestees. It cites ACLU concerns and compares to Texas reforms, arguing arrest should be a last resort and highlighting harms to students’ education and future prospects.
The Aiken Standard explains that letters must be signed with the writer’s address and daytime phone number for verification. Submissions should not exceed 500 words and require a brief headline. Anonymous or pen-name letters are not published and letters tied to organized campaigns are discouraged.
