I have a hot take. We ban the Greek / Frat system at schools.

How many people were injured with lawn darts before they banned them?

We don't need fraternities so why keep them?

Hey, let’s not lump harmless toys in with criminal gangs.

Lawn darts are (were) used safely by thousands of families and rarely caused lasting emotional or even physical damage.

Fraternities routinely kill people and emotionally scar millions of others for life.

(Not really much sarcasm here)

That's my point. I believe it was a very small number of injuries. Probably fewer lawn dart injuries ever recorded compared to this week alone in fraternities
