Nationwide School District Zero Tolerance Insanity Must Stop!

The plague of “zero tolerance” continues to ruin the educational experience for thousands of US school children each year.  The misguided policy allows our “professional educators” to relinquish their responsibility to be judgmental and to make rational decisions based on circumstances.  Many incidents go unreported.  District officials constantly tout they’re ability to teach “critical thinking” to their students.  How can they teach a skill they apparently do not possess themselves?

Here are some recent examples. 

Rhode Island 8yr Olds's US Army Hat Ban - Zero Tolerance  

Girl Arrested for Doodling  

Toy Guns and Zero Tolerance  

Middle School Suspended for Touching Pills  

Zero Tolerance Ineffective
