Did you see the one about the kid......

I graduated high school almost exactly 3 weeks after Columbine. I know of people who would go squirrel or varmint hunting in the woods by the school at lunch. Every other car had a gun in it. I carried my pocket knife with me at school all the time. In one memorable instance, a teacher was having trouble opening up a package of something, so I whipped my knife out and gave it to him. He used it, thanked me and gave it back.

Guess how many school shooting happened at my school? Zero. Incidents with guns? Zero. This is as recent as 15 years ago, that life was different. I'm amazed at the nanny state crap that's been happening lately.

If you think suspension for gun shaped pop tarts and pizza is bad...read this one that just happened a few days ago:

I guess the kid was just supposed to watch his classmate kill the other student.
 
Is it my imagination, or has the popularity of "Home Schooling" risen right along with all of these new absurd rules and zero tolerance policies?

If I can figure out how to avoid paying the school support portion of my property taxes to offset the costs of private/home schooling my daughter will never be exposed to the idiocy of public schools.
 
The only time "Zero Tolerance" makes any sense is when your talking about knives...

The problem with a "Zero Tolerance" policy is it prevents cooler heads and common sense from blowing something out of preportion. (that is of course assuming that the school administration has any "common" sense)

It also teaches the kid a VERY negative lesson about being inflexable and intolerance... If you have "Zero" Tolerance than you are what?
Intolerante.
 
What harm could it possible do to anyone for her to talk about a "bubble gun".

It's the g-word. Pretty soon everybody will have to say "g-word." It will make for funny soundbites when the politicians have to talk about "g-word control." :D
 
I guess when my Halloween costume was as an MP with a realistic plastic 1911, billy club and helmet - I was a 3rd grade threat to humanity.

The 1911 was neat. You pulled the trigger and a plastic bullet went about 3 feet.

Why, I might have grown up to like guns or something like that?
