Andrew Figueiredo thought he was just taking a vitamin and a dietary supplement, but South Middleton School District administrators say he was taking medication without authorization and suspended him.
Now the father of the Boiling Springs High School senior is demanding a public apology, saying this is a case of Zero tolerance equals zero common sense.
TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS: education; zerotolerance
More zero tolerance madness. We need zero tolerance for school administrators who can't, or won't, think. One strike and you're out.

These same zero tolerance schools who would suspend a kid for a vitamin would drive your daughter to get a secret abortion! (At least they do in CA)

And, in one of the New England states it’s apparently legal to take a minor child as young as 11 to a clinic to get them the abortion pill, or put them on birth control without parental notification. The madness of these loons is frightening.

I detest zero tolerance, but why can’t this stuff be taken at home?

In some cases, a person has to wait so many hours after taking needed medicines. Such as someone on thyroid hormone replacements; after taking it, you have to wait four hours before you take calcium. And for someone like me that has low blood calcium, four hours can be a darn long time.
