I saw this article about a kid who brought a knife to school. He did it inadvertently, but got a 10 day suspension anyways. Apparently zero-tolerance also means zero-sense. You’ve got to be frightened of a world that only has white and black. Where do people like me fit in? Literally!

I figure if I went to elementary school these days, I would never have made it. After my tae kwon do training, my hands and feet were deadly weapons. In fact, when I put my hands in my pocket, they would be concealed weapons. And when I was in a fight with a gang of boys, they would be weapons of mass destruction. Yeah, I never would’ve completed school in a zero-tolerance environment…
