Trading Card Games
There is growing number of parents complaining about trading card games.
"These trading cards almost have the role of a status symbol at some schools. Children who cannot afford them are often systematically excluded or even bullied." says Susan Sorensen, chairwoman of the association of caring parents. "As if that wasn't enough, even theft has become an everyday event. My son was even threatened and blackmailed for a rare trading card. Therefore, all trading card games have to be prohibited at schools of [staat], and teachers must have the authority to confiscate them if they find them at their schools."
The right of property is partially abrogated at schools in [staat].
"There is an even easier solution. It would be much easier if these trading cards weren't even available for children." interjects John Fiegmund, lawyer of a small national-conservative group. "This wouldn't be a big deal judicially, we wouldn't even have to make a new law. The contents of these trading card packs are randomly arranged and single cards are traded at different market falues, therefore they can be considered as some sort of gambling. But in [staat], gambling is already forbidden for minors. We just have to prohibit the disposal of trading cards to minors under reference to the gambling laws."
Upper stage pupils who are already of full age often sell trading cards to younger pupils illegally and for horrendous prizes.
"Balderdash! This is so typical for conservative control-freaks." thinks Prof. Adam Miller, an associate professor for economics and member of the Libertarian Party. "If parents don't want their children to buy trading cards, they have to care for that by themselves. Teachers can care about bullying among pupils and in the worst cases, it's still possible to sue the culprits. And everything else is regulated by the forces of the free market."
Trading cards are one of the most important status symbols among pupils because of their official toleration.

The other suggestions may be realized sometimes, but I'd have to text them completely, so it may take a while.
