Mirador Pro and Con: What Was Behind the SWAT Drug Fiasco?

Writer Devin Mottier and Managing Editor Sophia Bollag take opposing views on California drug laws and a high schooler's take on drug use in general in the latest issue of The Mirador.

The pair examine the actions taken by law enforcement and school officials in the wake of the story -- which garnered nationwide attention after several busloads of high schoolers, many from local schools, was stopped in Nevada and a sizeable amount of drugs confiscated.

Bollag and Mottier address whether drug education in local schools is adequate -- or necessary in the first place.
