Zero tolerance for zero tolerance - Washington Times:
"Every few weeks comes a tale from one school or another so unbelievably stupid that it makes one shudder with disbelief at the lack of judgment in the administration of the American education system.
We should collectively ask whether the people we designate to teach and look after our children most of their daylight hours have ever been tested for common sense. The answer would be obvious.
What in the world am I talking about? Well, it is called zero tolerance, and it treats every incident no matter how innocent or incidental or actually threatening the same. It is as if the Queen of Hearts has taken over the school and is constantly shouting, 'Off with their heads!'"
