In Mississippi, if kindergarteners violates the dress code or act out in class, they may end up in the back of a police car.
A story about one five-year-old particularly stands out. The little boy was required to wear black shoes to school. Because he didn’t have black shoes, his mom used a marker to cover up his white and red sneakers. A bit of red and white were still noticeable, so the child was taken home by the cops.
The child was escorted out of school so he and his mother would be taught a lesson.

People are crazy, therefore nobody should be able to own guns at all.
I was taught how to carry and shoot by a teacher, many moons ago. Wonderful man.
zero tolerance = those in authority don’t have to worry about being accountable for exercising discretion.
I was just reading about the kindergarten girl suspended for taking a Hello Kitty bubble “gun” to class. I recall thinking that was the bottom of the pit.
• Students on a school bus were throwing peanuts at one another. Because one of the peanuts hit the female bus driver, five black male high school students were arrested on felony assault charges.
• A student was sent to a juvenile detention center for wearing the wrong color socks. It was considered to be a probation violation from a previous fight.
Was the kid properly cuffed before they threw him in the police car?
A friend of mine had to spray paint his white sneakers black for a waiter/serving job years ago ...
What was the lesson?
If you don't have black shoes, steal a pair?!
I can’t wait for the day when parents can just plunk their kids in front of a computer and let them learn at home.
I don’t doubt that this story is true. I’ve read enough about zero tolerance policies and the idiots who are running public schools not to believe it.
Public schools that have zero tolerance policies are toxic to kids.
