After a youtube video surfaced showing a student at Toronto’s Northern Secondary School being detained for resisting his detention, a protest was held last week regarding police presence in schools.

Check out the story.

In a wonderful piece of journalism, the National Post reported that the protest was a failure because only a fraction of students showed up to the protest, less than 10% of the 1800-student school, thereby indicating that the students support the police presence in their school.  They even interviewed a couple students to support this claim.  Look for the National Post to continue reporting on the end of student indifference with even more ironic use of statistical analyses in the coming days.
