It’s become increasingly apparent that the law has become unpopular.

Students are already suffering the consequences through probation, fines, criminal record and punishment through their own schools.

Young people should not be doubly punished for a single misstep. Students who are forced to drop out of school are more likely to abuse drugs. Providing continued access to education is the best way...

They should be allowed to stay in school so they can become productive, tax-paying members of society. If they drop out, it’s more likely they’ll live in the streets and become drug addicts.

This will be a fairly drawn-out process, but we will continue to fight this as long as it takes.
