| I was reading an email that i just got from the libertarian party...It was on the topic of Zero Tolerance laws and brought back a memory of mine... Just recently i learned that at a middle school in my city, two kids were suspended for possesion of "marijuana". The vice principal caught two kids in the bathroom...one was selling to the other. In the end, it turned out to be tea and not marijuana, but both kids still recieved a suspension of 8 days and 2 days of in school suspension. Some other examples that were in the e-mail are as follows: * A 6-year-old in Colorado was suspended for violating the school's anti-drug policy after a teacher saw him share a lemon drop candy with a friend. The school also called an ambulance for the lemon- drop-eating friend. * In New Jersey, a 9-year-old was suspended -- and forced to undergo psychiatric counseling -- for threatening to shoot a classmate with a rubber band. * A 10-year-old in Colorado was expelled because her mother put a small knife in her lunchbox to cut an apple. When the girl realized the knife could violate the school's anti-weapons policy, she turned it over to a teacher. The school then expelled the girl. * Three grammar school students in Colorado were suspended for possessing a weapon -- a water pistol. * A 13-year-old in Arizona, inspired by the movie October Sky, built a rocket -- fueled by three match heads -- out of a Pringles potato chip canister. When he brought the potato chip canister to school he was suspended for a year for having a "weapon." The school also reported him to the police. * In Michigan, a third-grader was suspended for showing his classmates a gun-shaped medallion, slightly larger than a charm for a necklace. He had found the piece of jewelry in a snowbank. "State law requires us to take action even though it was a toy," said a school administrator. * A school in New Jersey suspended two kindergarten students for playing "cops and robbers" on the playground. They had pointed their fingers at each other like guns and shouted, "Bang bang!" * In Maryland, a school suspended a 9-year-old after he drew a picture of a gun on a piece of paper. * In Virginia, eight students were suspended for one week after they were caught sniffing Kool-Aid. They were charged with "possession of contraband" because they were "using Kool-Aid in a way that imitated the use of illegal drugs," school officials said. -------------------------------- I just don't understand why anyone would be so fearful as to suspend and expel students for non-crimes. School officials need to rethink what they are doing and why they are doing it. i'd like more input on this issue...please reply: | |
