Interesting is one word for it.
My personal experience with incompetent school administrators is one of the many reasons I hesitate about having kids. I don't know that I could trust my children with the kinds of people that I should never have been entrusted to.

The alternative is to be prepared to home school any children you have. As a proud father of two fine adult children, I will tell you that, had I to do it over again, they would both be home schooled.
I have never heard of ONE single case of a kid with an ACTUAL GUN being suspended.
Is it perhaps that the school faculty is just too afraid to apply these rules to the gangbangers that they KNOW are armed, and so they decide to engage in this nonsense to make it seem like they are really doing something?
Zero tolerance = Zero common sense
= Zero accountability
= Zero responsibility
Why is it that a 16 year old girl can walk into an abortion clinic and get an abortion without parental knowledge or consent; yet, can be expelled for bringing "drugs" to school for bringing Midol for her cramps? Like I said, zero common sense.
One thing I learned from zero tolerance policies were how to hide things from school administrators. I had a knife in the glove box of my Jeep for 2 years in high school. I occasionally carried a very small pocket knife in my backpack as well. You just have to have enough judgement to not tell anyone you have these things and not to take them out near others. However, I was very careful to not have any firearms or ammo or firearm paraphernalia in my backpack, pockets, or vehicle.

"A woman has the right to control her body." But prostitution is illegal? INSANITY!
You know, I've noticed that every time some kid gets suspended under the 'zero tolerance' policy, it's always some pointless blathering case. This kid got suspended for a 1 inch plastic toy gun. A boy scout was kicked out a few months back for having a small pocket knife in the trunk of his car along with MRE's and blankets. Elementary school kids get expelled for having fingernail clippers or a picture of a gun doodled on their binders.

When I was in school, zero tolerance policies were seen for what they were, idiotic.
If you check pockets on HS and JHS boys in my school approximately 9/10 would have had a pocket knife in it, mine included.
During hunting season about 1/2 of the vehicles, including staff vehicles, would have had at least one firearm in them.
I have been witness to a teacher telling someone to bring their "new rifle" in to let the teacher have a look at it.
To this day that school district has had no one harmed by a knife or a firearm on school property or at any school event in its' 100+ years of existence.
That is common sense, not Idiots "No Tolerance".
