More Zero Tolerance Nonsense

Here in the Phoenix area today, this was big news, and rightly so. The zero tolerance code of the gov't schools is a failed policy, yet it persists inspite of the numerous horror stories.

As a "retired" homeschool dad, I just can't understand why parents continue to put up with the malfeasance of school officials and their numerous failed policies. It's bad enough when education becomes indoctrination, but when personal health concerns are threatened by the ludicrous doctrine of "zero tolerance," it's time to yank the kid from public schools.

It's not like this is public education's only foible, after all...need I enumerate?
