How in the h*ll are you putting this on the schools?? Last time I checked, schools were charged with teaching history, math, Swedish, English and other such subjects.

Schools have visits from Fire Brigade, Police etc to warn of certain dangers, this is just another that professional help can get the message out to the masses.
Why would you be against anything that could help???????
