BREAKING...!

Couldn't help myself. Zero tolerance overkill, anyone?

8. What next? 3-year-olds getting arrested for throwing tantrums?
Or even worse--2-year-olds getting tortured for pooping their pants?

:mad:

2. You HAVE to be joking.
Where did this happen? Sounds like my son's school.

5. Zero tolerance means zero thinking
Zero brains requred. Zero tolerance means you don't have to differentiate between a spitball and an automatic weapon.

Treat them equally and make sure they grow up with utter contempt for authority.

What was that line about justice wihtout mercy?

6. Better yet, where is justice without fairness...
thrown in, in addition to being innocent before being proven guilty? I find zero tolerance rules to be, well, untolerable, to put it simply, its stupid and worst of all, simplistic.

9. I Have a Message For My Fellow DUers
The word "gullible" is not in the dictionary.

Don't believe me? Look it up.
