Spanish term or phrase: obviar que
Los riesgos que suponen, o pueden suponer, que el tráfico de drogas esté tan próximo o en el interior de la escuela e involucre, como traficantes, a los propios escolares, van más allá del daño directo que causa a los escolares concretos que realizan esta actividad, siendo ya lo suficientemente importante. Además, no podemos obviar que la propia institución escolar puede llegar a verse involucrada, como ámbito en el cual las mafias delictivas del tráfico de drogas puede ampliar su terreno de acción
