This sort of "zero-tolerance" garbage was just one of the many reasons I took my son out of the public schools.

In middle school, my son was robbed of $5.00 and beaten by a creep and his gang. There were several witnesses who claimed my son did not instigate the violence, but fought back after being thrown to the ground and put in a headlock by a much older and larger thug.

Guess what? The thug was suspended for one week. However, my son was suspended for two days for hitting the creep who had him in a headlock because of the zero tolerance policy!!!

There's more to our story, (we caught the principle in a bald face lie) but the end result was that my husband and I refused to let our son back into that school. We homeschool now.

Kids in public schools are not allowed to fight back. They must sit or lie there like good little robots and get the snot kicked out of them by creeps who would love to be suspended from school for a week.

Vouchers are necessary to break the back of the NEA and school board policies devoid of common sense and common decency.

I wonder what would happen if one were to go to the school and beat the ever lovin crap outta the teacher, would he / she fight back? Heck even if they called the law, wouldn't that be a form of fighting back? Ummm, Just a thought.

Sometimes it's better to catch idiots like that away from the school where you can really let him know how you feel without ending up in jail. I mean if he's responsible for our childs welfare, how come he got put in a headlock & beat up and yet still got suspended. In my opinion you might want to tell & show him just what it's like to be a victim of some thug and then be penalized for nothing. Our schools have become a P.C. madhouse, i've only got two more years till my youngest graduates and I got to tell you i'm very glad.
