The mind of the Libtard is a difficult thing to understand; because thier method of processing data is akin to watching a cow chew it’s cud. Slow, mechanized and easily distracted.

Beautiful and profound IMHO.

Click on the keyword “zerotolerance” and you’ll get hundreds, if not thousands of similar stories from all parts of the country.

To be a teacher or administrator in just about any public school, one must have education beyond a four-year college degree. With so much education, why are so many teachers and administrators so lacking in common sense?

“school administrators a 1 1/2-inch knife that he kept in his glove box as part of a car survival kit.”

INSANITY...

Zero tolerance is just an excuse for not thinking. Liberals cannot make moral judgments so every misdemeanor is a felony and every felony a misdemeanor.

Yuri Besmenov warned us. It is called “demoralization”!

The Marxists have so thoroughly infested education ( and every other area of our culture) that our citizens can no longer think rationally even when the facts are in front of them.

Next step: Destabilization!

Forget the loons on this school board. Time to goto court. A reasonable judge should reverse this.

Yes and when in living in Southern California a Sheriff told me that a KEY is a tool of entry.

TRUE   But how many of us would think like that.

I got pulled over this one time about 20 years ago in Hopewell, NJ. I was a "target"... a young punk, shaved head, driving a '64 Skylark convertible at 2am on the way home from the recording studio with a drum kit in the back seat of the car. Cop made me get out of the car while they searched it... he had a HUGE problem with the softball bat (and glove?) in the back seat... and insisted I keep it in the trunk.

Fine, whatever.

Then... the cop found my "stash"... of sport boomerangs. He asked me if I knew how to use them, and when I answered that I did, he said (and I am NOT MAKING THIS UP), "Well since you know how to use these, they could be considered weapons that you could use against an Officer of the Law. You should keep these in your trunk as well."

I have very little tolerance for cops now. Actually, make that ZERO TOLERANCE.

Has anyone of a different race or sexual persuasion committed the same offense and have had the punishment expunged from their record? If so this would be discrimination.

[Kathy in Alaska]

...the Lansingburgh Central School District board of education...

Stupid, one and all! 1 1/2 inch? Not a lick of sense among the whole bunch!

[Albion Wilde]

Who needs weapons when you can just put them in the freezer, anyway?

Or, freeze them with a putter...

I think we took all the golf clubs to The Salvation Army before the last move.

And if you happen to draw a picture of an American flag AND a knife, then you’d end up in youth detention and be labeled a criminal. Values are SO topsy-turvy these days!

[1951Boomer]

Yes, they’re straining at gnats while swallowing camels. The REAL damage done in the classroom— freewheeling sex ed, politicized curriculum, expunging of God and related symbols, bullying feral kids raised by idiot parents—is gleefully accepted. But if a limp-wristed bureaucrat can kill two all-American symbols with one stone, e.g., an Eagle Scout AND a pointed object, then by all means, they can’t allow THAT in their precious school.

The answer, roughly, was "Hell no, we don't care. We've got bigger fish to fry than some charge trumped up by a nosybody administrator."

West Point will issue him a sword.

Being an Eagle Scout means you have character and are an overachiever, both of which are a big no - no in today’s academia. When I made Eagle 40 years ago, my town almost had a parade. How times have changed.
