I was initially thinking of including a comment about how the court system has some responsibility for this mess, but I forgot.

I like how the author tries to make guns and school shootings responsible for zero tolerance policies, but you can trace the problem with discipline in schools back to the 19660's and the counter-culture BS.

25 - "but you can trace the problem with discipline in schools back to the 1960's "

I think it can be traced to the late baby boomers, and Dr. Spock's book in 1950, on raising children, which became the rage. 'Don't spank or discipline the children' - the results of which started showing up in the 60's in the lack of discipline in the parents of the children now in school.

Bring back spanking. !!!!
