THUMBS DOWN to the pervasiveness of gangs within the schools, according to a recent presentation by Burlington police Sgt. Brandon Jones to the school board. He said gang activity is “in all the schools we’ve been in.” Most troubling is how young gang member are. It’s not unusual for a middle-school student to be involved and Turrentine Middle School is an especially active site. We agree with board member Pam Thompson, who called it “a very serious, deadly issue.”
