Steve Mayo: The American Constitution of Liberty - Envy of the World
Mayo contends that there is no basis for the assertions by Mayor Noam Bramson that the Gadsden Flag belongs to any private party or entity. The removal of the flag from the Armory is nothing more than the suppression of the First Amendment.
Steve Mayo is an attorney and businessman. He is the host of The Steve Mayo Show on WVOX. He was the Republican nominee for City Council District 6 in 2011.

Let us get this straight. In other posted columns, you are suggesting three security guards may have fornicated with students and their boss may have pushed the envelope on pension related transactions. Actions that probably or possibly constituted crimes? And you are polling to see whether security guards should be armed around kids? Trust them? It's a no brainer.
It doesn't mean that existing security guards have to now be armed. It means that we can replace them either with trained armed security teams or existing police force. I think all security for our schools should have a back round check EVERY year before school starts. I have a job that takes me to many schools every week and unfortunately not much has changed at the front doors of many of the schools we trust our kids to.
