Thanks for digging that up! I write corporate IT policy which goes through legal review, and terms such as “the like” are intentionally ambiguous so the person responsible for enforcing the policy can exercise their own discretion as a trained professional. Admittedly, it can also be an escape clause for the company.
That’s my whole point in engaging with you people on this, because this whole issue is a matter of policy enforcement and personal responsibility vs. school safety, in the age of terrorism and mass shootings.
It’s not a 2nd Amendment issue at all, and I wish you guys would understand that. Someday this conversation might help get you out of a pickle at work, in court, or with your kids at school.
exposes the flaw in your entire premise that the school administration was "correct" in applying a punishment to this boy.
By their very response and actions, they demonstrated that they; a) aren't trained and b) "professional".
On this much I agree. This is a matter of ignorant morons running the public schools and mindlessly adhering to policies that excuse them from the act of thinking. So-called 'zero tolerance' policies are for idiots who can't be trusted to make informed and mature decisions. It speaks poorly about your judgment of your own capabilities that you'd promote reliance on such policies over the utilization of sound judgment.
“It’s not a 2nd Amendment issue at all”
I disagree.
There is a wave of anti-gun lunacy in our schools. This is just another example.
Guns are legal. But our kids are being taught that they are incredibly evil - and every week we have another absurd example of hyper-enforcement of anti-gun rules in school.
Do you think its an accident?
Do you think the anti-gun proponents (some of whom are billionaires) are just merrily skipping down the street, wondering when gun control will happen?
I happen to believe that this cabal of billionaires is not sitting idly by. Rather, I believe they are using their money and influence to impact the underwriters who insure school districts, which ultimately leads to schools being strong armed into codifying absurd anti-gun rules...and, in this case, absurdly enforcing non-existent gun rules, because no doubt the teachers have been forced to sit through a general gun hysteria class.
So yeah, when you read about a pop tart being grounds for discipline, it isn’t just a zany story...it is absolutely about the 2nd amendment.
Bingo! You just admittedly announced you're an inflexible, statist moron.
At first I thought you were just an HR person.
