Does zero tolerance mean zero brains?

Zero tolerance policies are designed to mean "zero brains". The policy is made to fit every person in every instance no matter what the circumstances. It is used as an excuse (particularly in schools) for administrators to say "It isn't our fault. It is the policy." The same stupidity has been used to suspend a first grader for bringing a plastic knife in his lunch to cut his food and a kindergarten student for sexual harassment for hugging a classmate.

Yes. I've never understood zero tolerance. These policies came when idiots elect other idiots to run things, and we all have to pay for them. So for my own zero tolerance rule, we should only have two term limits for all elected officials, especially at the Federal level. They cannot run again for office, even when they move to another district. We need some rational people in office for a change. Unfortunately, they might create more zero tolerance laws, too.

i've got in no way enjoyed 0 tolerance. while a woman gets suspended for 'drug dealing' because of the fact she provides yet another woman a midol or a boy gets expelled for possession of weapons because of the fact he has a tiny rubber keychain formed like a gun or a butter knife in his lunchbox, some thing is awfully incorrect with this technique. BlackhawksRule--you're no longer speaking approximately weapons right here. What you're speaking approximately is toy squaddies. except you suspect they could by some potential magically come to existence, there have been no actual weapons in touch.

There is no reason not to consider everything as a black and white issue. I'm so tired of all these liberals and their "gray areas." Everything is either right or wrong, and there is no subtle argument that can change that! Go with your gut! If you don't like something, open fire!

I think so. I think it's foolish to believe in a world of absolutes. Like I tell my buddy, the world is not black and white but a variety of shades of gray. There is no black and white, only really, really dark gray and really, really light gray.

When I was in high school, people could get in trouble for carrying around inhalers.

Ridiculous.

YES!!! That is crazy!!! What they'll suspend a kid for taking aspirin next?

Thomas R... You are hilarious, dude... Very truthful!!!... but hilarious.

Considering that they are largely advocated by Republicans, of course it means zero brains.

She new the rules and she got caught.

Next time maybe she'll be smarter.
