Don't bring politics into schools

Recently, I was shocked to learn that Bangladesh Chhatra League is setting up committees at high schools across the country. I fail to understand why BCL would do such a thing when the odds are heavily against it.

The kind of student politics practiced in public colleges and universities has brought us nothing but pain and suffering. So, initiating schoolchildren into this brand of politics would be extremely harmful, to say the least. Already, a BCL school committee member has reportedly beaten up his teacher, while two students tied to BCL in Moulvibazar were hacked to death. The BCL leadership should take note of these incidents.
