Zero Tolerance or Zero Intelligence?

There is an alarming trend upon us, it's called zero tolerance but it seems as if there is absolutely no common sense involved at all. A 13 year old child in an Arizona school doodles the picture of a laser gun. It shows no blood, bullets, or targets. The child is suspended from school for three days and the drawing is called "an absolute threat". Some boys in an Oregon Middle School create "slap butt day" and run down the hall slapping girls bottoms as they ran. They were arrested, taken away in handcuffs, put in jail where they remained for five days. The two boys were charged with felony sex offenses. A student at a Connecticut University making a speech on a "relevant issue in the media" discussed the Virginia Tech massacre and talked about how if students were allowed to legally carry concealed weapons on campus many fewer casualties may have occurred. He was invited to a discussion with local police. A Colorado high school senior and member of the local county Young Marines was suspended from school for 10 days for locking in her car on campus a fake rifle used in drill team exercises. A child, who's dad is a law enforcement officer, is threatened with a three day school suspension because the pen his dad lent him said "Glock" on it. No depiction of a gun, just a pen with the Glock logo. I could go on and on. This is sheer insanity. This is sheer stupidity! What are these people thinking? I understand that violence in the schools can be an issue. I understand that sex crimes in schools can be a problem. But that's not what these cases are about. I think the biggest crime and biggest problem is lack of common sense on the part of schools and school administrators. I can understand the issue if a middle school child brings his dad's Glock to school but that's hardly the same as bringing his dad's pen that says Glock on it to school. That's just crazy. What is the solution to such mass stupidity? I'm not really sure but I really hope the parents of children that are caught up in the stupidity fight the schools and sue them into having to apply some common sense. In the case of the universities, where free speech and free thought used to be the norm, it seems like the First Amendment is out the window just like the Second Amendment. The universities ought to wake up to the fact that banning guns on campus will only lead to more carnage. All the schools need to realize that "political correctness" and "zero tolerance" are more about control, socialism, power and the delusion of safety. It's time to fight back against these morons.
