The public schools strike again - running for their lives from predatory lawyers and sue-happy parents. Coupled with their NEA indoctrinated brains - it makes for the indefensible actions we read about in this article. Not to worry - they ALL will defend these nonsensical decisions as needed.

INTREP - Now the question is: What can be done to reverse this tragic tidal wave of PCness?

What can be done...?Teach your children to disrespect wrongful authority.
The Public Schools are at war with America's children - and they're winning!
Support the children against the system, always.

It is similar to England, more and more. Lawyers are important but that industry (as well as our judiciary) has gotten out of control. What's more, it is one of our "export" industries. :(

Teach your children to disrespect wrongful authority. Be prepared to get them out of the public school system, then, unless you want them to be punished severely.

Unfortunately, that's what it will take before people wake up to the fact that "Zero Tolerance" needs to be tempered with a degree of exercised common sense. My wife spent 3 days in the hospital last week because of an asthma attack, it's not something that should be taken lightly. What about people who are allergic to bee stings? Do they have to have their medication at the nurses office. It sure would be hard to get there when your in anaphalatic shock.

There needs to be a common sense "release valve" in place in situations like these that give a panel or judge power to disallow implementation on an individual basis if the circumstances permit.
The problem with some laws are that the are global in action when there should be limitations.
Then they automatically give penalties out when they should be "stayed".
There needs to be "release valves" in these types of laws to not throw the good people into the barrel with the rotten apples IMO!

The whole reason for zero tolerance is so that principals could take action against violent gangs without being called racist. They could just say they were merely carrying out administrative procedures. Au contraire. The whole reason for zero tolerance is so that "educators" (NEAA union members) can act out their liberal fantasies without being called to task for having made a decision.

Be prepared to get them out of the public school system... Well, yes, but where that is a present difficulty, then be prepared to teach them how to survive the system - how to dissemble, how to be discrete, how to never trust the 'occupying power'.
Of course, one could always choose to teach them how to work the system, and milk the taxpayers - I know that many parents do.
I believe that to be a short-sighted policy.

I fully agree - but you have to be practical, too. And part of that is being prepared to simply pull them out of the system.

My daughter's school is the same way. Either she has to run across school (while having an attack for crying out loud) or have another student run there and run all the way back. Death can occur either way.
Zero Tolerance = Zero Common Sense
