This kid now has a drug arrest on his record.

No matter what the outcome, his permanent file will show that he is a drug criminal.

For the rest of his life, every school he attends and every employer will know him as a drug criminal.

Sounds like a police state to me.

And that's why it is imperative that parents realize this and remove their children from schools that have these policies (which is practically every public school in the country).

It's very easy for good kids in today's public schools to make one mistake that could ruin their futures. Public education is not worth that risk, even if you pay through the nose in property taxes for it.

Today's public school administrators do not treat students as individuals. They treat them as part of a collective, a blob. It's easier for them that way. They don't have to use any judgment.

Parents should ask why they are paying these people six-figure salaries when a clerical worker in the school office is capable of making the decision to pick up the phone and calling the cops and then notifying the school board of an expulsion hearing.
