After reading the post about the student in Houston that was charged with the transference of a "dangerous drug" while saving the life of his asthmatic girlfriend... this is another refreshing article that takes a look at the idiotic nature of "zero-tolerance" policies... Great piece!

I heard about that story yesterday. They both were on the exact same perscription of Albuturol, she had forgotten her inhaler so he gave her his when she was having an attack. The girl's mother even said he was completely right in what he did.
But the boy still is facing felony charges (that hopefully will get thrown out) and he is expelled from school which he may not be able to reverse. The whole thing is so rediculous that it borders on offensive.
