If the entire student body walked out, the school's goon squad would round them up and arrest them.
Perhaps it would be better if parents of children who had life-threatening illnesses removed their kids from the school. Their children are in danger and the administration will hide behind policy before they do the right thing. The only people who care about their children are the parents. "It's for the children" is only a slogan made up the Hildebeasts of the world to control you and your kids.
It would also be a good idea, I think, if parents remember that one wrong move by their kid (which was at one time handled on an individual basis, but isn't anymore) could doom their child's future forever, such as in this case. The kid now has an arrest record. Even if the charges are dismissed, the kid has an arrest record. Try to get into one of the military academies with an arrest record.
Think twice before you enroll your kid in a school with idiotic zero tolererance/zero brains policies and idiotic government lackey administrators who will do everything in their power to save their asses even if it means screwing your kid over.
TOO MANY STUPID PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH POWER TO RUIN YOUR KID'S LIFE FOREVER. AVOID SCHOOLS WITH ZERO TOLERANCE/ZERO BRAINS POLICIES AT ALL COSTS!
If the entire student body walked out, the school's goon squad would round them up and arrest them. Fine. Let them incite a riot, and get the issue yet more attention. Free people had better expect to face a lot more than a school's goon squad if they expect to stay free. The sooner government learns we'll play hardball right along with them, the better. This is the type of spine required, and Americans had better start to assert it right now:
Perhaps it would be better if parents of children who had life-threatening illnesses removed their kids from the school.
Even better, have everyone pull their kids from public school.
Try to get into one of the military academies with an arrest record.
Why should one bother to make the sacrifice of serving in the military to defend a country with rules like this? The biggest threat to our liberty comes from our own government. Joining the army won't help in that fight. The real fight is to be had at the ballot box.
