My brother was a headmaster at a school in a western state. He told me that a girl student had been reported for telling others proudly that she kept a gun in her school drawer. This girl was only 14 years old. As the headmaster, my brother made a decision to break the girl’s locked drawer to see if there was really a gun. To his surprise，there was a loaded gun. The girl was immediately suspended from school (停课).

However，the girl’s father was too angry with the headmaster. He said that school was dangerous and he felt that his daughter had every right to keep a gun in her drawer to protect herself. He also said that the drawer was private, so the headmaster had no right to search it.

The father caused so much trouble that the school board (董事会）decided to meet over this issue. Should a teenager girl be allowed to keep a loaded gun in her drawer to protect herself? No. Then the school board decided to support the headmaster's decision to suspend the girl. It was passed by a vote of four to three.
