Finally, a school board exercising a modicum of common sense. If for no other reason than to avoid humiliation and embarrassment, rather than a true realization of the foolishness and stupidity of their ways? But it does not offset the recent outright atrocities from the links at the bottom of this article.

What? Common sense?!!!

My little nephew won’t stand a chance unless they get ALL the ‘zero tolerance’ crap out of the schools. He plays guns constantly....

“This comes on the heels of numerous students being suspended, expelled and also arrested for cases involving toy guns at schools....”

It’s not “numerous students” — it’s “numerous boys”. If there were a school policy that affected girls as disproportionately; that policy would have been scrapped almost immediately. The public school system has become so thoroughly feminized, that it’s become a toxic environment for boys.

This comes on the heels of numerous students being suspended, expelled and also arrested for cases involving toy guns at schools, talking about guns at schools, or wearing gun related clothing.

Just what I’ve been writing about this subject. Coordinate a big effort with a lot of students and this crap will HAVE to stop. What are they going to do, suspend an entire class or more? If I had a kid in this crap ed system I’d certainly consider starting a movement to do it.

I'm guessing it was more related to the inability to go out in public without being tarred and feathered.

As it should be.

School Board Gets Rid of Zero Tolerance ...

This angers me. This means the idiots in charge of our public schools have had the ability to correct this all along.

It has been my impression that the only reason the Public School System enforced the ridiculous "zero tolerance" policies is because of threats from the federal government if they did not comply.
