For your consideration:

In the latest corruption of our anti-violence policies, the Zero Tolerance Rangers are still at it. I think we're taking this policy way to far. We're wasting a lot of time, money and effort on stupid cases like this.


I have a friend with a 9-year-old son, when he was 7, he was sitting in class and made a mistake. He muttered 'shoot' to himself, and was suspended for 2 days. He also was considered for expulsion.


Don't our educators have better things to do than to prosecute obviously non-violent students?

Yep. My Mom called me once at school. To say that Dad had died. Who cares. Right?


I got up and left.
