Lionel rolled his eyes each time. Mrs. Jenness welcomed students and introduced key faculty members.
To her right were Global Community guards in uniform.

тАЬLooks like theyтАЩre stepping up security,тАЭ John whispered.

тАЬWhy do they need eight guards?тАЭ Mark said.

тАЬIt is our hope,тАЭ Mrs. Jenness said, тАЬthat when you look back at Nicolae Carpathia High School twenty
years from now, you will think of a time of unprecedented peace and learning.тАЭ

In six years, I wonтАЩt be thinking about this place at all, Judd thought.

тАЬLast year a faculty member caused great anxiety on this campus,тАЭ Mrs.

Jenness said.

тАЬHe is no longer with us. We are grateful that the Global Community peacekeeping forces have been
given the power to enforce the new rules.тАЭ

Mark caught JuddтАЩs eye.

тАЬSounds like trouble,тАЭ he said.

тАЬBelief is a private matter. Individuals must come to their own conclusions. Our new policies include zero
tolerance for those who push their beliefs on others. Any student, faculty member, or other employee
doing this will suffer quick and severe punishment.тАЭ

Judd saw several freshmen look at each other. They had to wonder what Mrs. Jenness was talking
about.

тАЬStudents will be expelled, their records destroyed. Hopes for higher education will be lost. Those
involved in any divisive activity like last year may be sent to a Global Community re-education facility.тАЭ

John leaned over and whispered, тАЬAre these just threats?тАЭ

тАЬSee all the extra cameras in the hallway?тАЭ Judd said.

A freshman raised a hand. Mrs. Jenness shook her head.

тАЬWeтАЩll save time for questions. Now I want you to see another move toward school unity.тАЭ

Two students, a boy and a girl, walked on stage and stood by the podium. The boy wore black pants
and a gray shirt. The girl wore a black skirt and a gray top. On the left shoulder of both shirts was a
dove, the new mascot of the school.
тАЬI liked it better when we were the Prospect Knights,тАЭ John said.

тАЬItтАЩs hard to root for a football team called the Doves.тАЭ

Judd stifled a laugh.
