Well I agree with you on the root cause. But the society IS being run by lawyers and concerns about lawsuits etc which is why this school reacted the way it did. They follow some stupid rule and thus feel they are innoculated from damages. Its crazy.
I do know many conservative lawyers who are great people. But as a group, lawyers have greatly contributed to many of the problems we have and many of them are scum.
In my case with Dummy earlier, she tried to sleep for two night and every time she rolled over on the shunt, it hurt and woke her up. Waaaaaa! Let's sue somebody!
How to return to the days of our parents when character and personal responsibility meant pride in one's self and control of your own destiny, I have no idea.
In the case of this school, this was a CHILD. Children sometimes do things that are innocent, not realizing some grown up they're gonna run into in two hours has some agenda. In the case of this faculty, they took thier stand to say "we're just not gonna put up with anything, especially children being children. Bah humbug!" It came back to bite them, and I'm glad.
