@neurovagrant the problem seems to be that more minors are bringing it to school, which doesn't seem like a shocking revelation.

[Ben Gundersen @bengundersen]

@neurovagrant Maybe I'm misreading, but article says majority of cases did not result in jail time/record expunged with voluntary class.

[Ben Gundersen @bengundersen]
