The whole purpose of "Zero Tolerance" is so educators in positions of responsibility never have to take any responsibility.

He probably said KABOOM, which, of course, made the entire administrative staff wet their pants.

“The whole purpose of “Zero Tolerance” is so educators in positions of responsibility never have to take any responsibility. “

A male friend recently retired as a 5th grade teacher. He said, “Oh, my goodness. Kids played finger guns all the time, made bang noises and pretended to shoot each other. If we’d played by those rules I’d have sent every kid to the office for suspension. Ridiculous.”

Proving once again that school administrators are morons. No wonder our next generation is so screwed up that they will have to be wards of the state.

From another website:

Amy Parham said her son Rhett was suspended from Hillcrest Middle School, even though she says administrators conceded the drawing was non-violent in nature and posed no threat to students.

“They actually reiterated to me they knew he was non-violent,” Parham told WHNS-TV. “They knew he was not actually having a bomb, creating or making a bomb.”

“But that they could not go with out making an example of him and take some type of action because they were worried about their perception,” she continued. “Perception is actually the word he used. Perception is reality, and parents might think you have a bomb or [might be] violent.”

Notice also that they are training kids to turn in their classmates.

Actually I have the exact opposite opinion. I blame the educators 100% for acting stupidly in this case.

Remember, zero tolerance problems keep people in authority positions from actually thinking and making a judgement.

Knowing them, no wonder they love zero tolerance policies: no thinking, no judgments.

I remember drawing that exact same picture dozens of times in school! It’s the quintessential bomb.

Should be better labeled as “zero intelligence” policy.

Drawing a picture is considered outrageous behavior, but indoctrinating kids into worshipping The One is perfectly OK.

Looks like a pretty good picture. Kid could have a future as a graphic artist. Rocky and Bulwinkle ride again! . . . What’s that? Oh, you punished him, crushed his spirit and his hopes and dreams? Oh, I see. Great job school administrators. Sleep well on that.

“He has autism. He has an official diagnosis. They know that he communicates differently. It’s obvious when you communicate with him that he doesn’t speak the same way and communicate and think the same way as typical children,” the frustrated mother said.

I feel for her, but this suspension would be sheer lunacy if her son didn't have autism, too.

God forbid some poor kid in art class doesn't draw an apple or a pumpkin just right.

Yeah well, our guys are being taught zero intolerance for violence. Those little muzzies are being taught to strap on bombs, and kill infidels......someday they will meet.
