Have you actually been to a public high school anytime recently? This is laughable. We do occasionally read stories of schools that went overboard on some issue, however mostly this is a reaction to kids who have not been taught basic manners or that you cannot just do whatever you want to whenever or where ever you are and expect the rest of the world to think you're cute.

We read about it pretty much every week. And the press only gets wind of these stories when someone complains to them -- so we can assume it happens more often.
Kids being sent home because they had a Advil tablet, or they drew a picture of a gun, or they had something with a religious symbol, or they had a religious discussion. Kids being scolded for praying over their lunch.
Fascism.
