On the Princeton campus?
Where does this end?
If a shjiite muslim at Princetion is attacked in a muslim safe zone by a suni, should there be shiite safe zone?

I can't help giggling every time I pass a sign near a school saying "Drug Free Zone."

Once, just once, I'd love to see a bunch of drug dealers selling drugs a couple of feet before the sign.
