I believe that this zero tolerance crap is a load of *poop*. A kid dyes his hair and he is suspended..wtf? A person brings in a frikking keychain swiss army knife and it is automatically, VIOLENCE IN SCHOOL! Anyone else agree with me here

krayvis
Another point is: What about culture, do we outlaw strange practices arising in the U.S. of A.? And what of the current generation?

Ya, some kid in Texas, he was the top student in the school, 2000 hours of community service, perfect record, got kicked out of High school cause he left a knife, a butter knife, in the back of his pickup. It was from a picnic his church planned!!!!!!!!! He got expelled, life ruined, and Principal got promoted.

Lol, he sued the school and not only can he go back, but he gets a nice lump sum of 2 mil. Not much, really.

i have experiance with zero tolerance, once i got suspended for rewritng a slightly violent song in the 3rd grade that i heard on the bus and giving it to my FRIENDS!!!!

ok...I think that we shouldn't have weapons in school. You don't really need them. For say...like if a kid was deinitely a good kid and he/she was emotionally and mentally stable then it wouldn't be fair for them to use the zero tolerance thing. I mean accidents happen. But if a person came into school with a weapon ready to do bodily harm to another individual then something should definitely be done. However, I don't believe that dress code has anything to do with a person's mental state since some people are just trying to be different. But on the other hand some people are dressing in extremely revealing clothing which I find repulsive. It's so disgusting. Ok...yesh. Make it stop! I would like to go to school without having to shield my eyes from the horrors of the girls' undergraments showing out in the open.

I agree with Tracidini with the under garments thing but I also think some of the things are the dress code are stupid.
Blitzkreig
Its all stupid. The bruthas can't even wear do rags any more..

black dudes cant wear traditional hair style keeping garments
krayvis
humph, it's all a cultural thing... sorry, i keep taking this damned anthropological outlook... they don't need "rags." same goes for many other "beauty" objects dry.gif
Blitzkreig
Sigh... but it is still stupid
The_Nightshift
I think this has gotten a little OFF TOPIC.

anyways, I'd like to quote Benjamin Franklin on this sort of thing:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety"

that was relatively pointless... what's with newspapers?!
get off the "brutha" thing!
they don't need rags.
zzz...
Blitzkreig
Please refrian from criticizing wat you don't understand if you happend to ask you would know that they are pissed.
BlueHyde
rags are nessacery in some enviroments so you don't get shot by your own gang.
each gang has a color rag and they beat the $#*% out of people on their turf without that color rag.


that mental association is why they were banned.
krayvis
they shouldn't beat up ppl then
The_Nightshift
I take this opertunity to remind Krayvis that this is not a perfect world wink.gif. Like it or lump it, bad things will happen
BlueHyde
it's the concept of beatings that the schools fear.
i never said it made sense, i said it was the school system. in other words: conformist brainwashing unconstitutional censororing candy-coated bull$#*% nazi idealists.
The_Nightshift
Well, its a tradeoff (this is more reflecting their opinion of it than mine)

If a person's troubled, they may not necessarily be obvious, and often aren't. So they have to make a choice here. Either they take every event seriously or they take the risk of having a shooting, complete with the bad publicity/lawsuits/etc., which would almost certainly leave a school and its district in bad shape at best.

Personally I think they should commit more resources to finding troubled kids by other methods than attacking them for anything vaguely related to violence, but I suspect that most school districts are still to narrow minded to consider it

still doesn't justify the banning of non-leathal objects.

Funny thing is that most people can do more damage with their fists or backbacks or somethign (heavy textbooks laugh.gif). Maybe they should ban hands or something.
BlueHyde
what about the big metal chairs that they have in every room.

I DIDN'T EDIT YOUR POST
Blitzkreig
Blue you are annoying.
D3green
Has anyone mentioned the recent rubberband incedent? Well someone got hit between the eyes and the police called it [censored]ualt with a weapon. I'm telling you both the school and police overreact to everything.
YamiBattousai
Yea, they're are a little over protective sometimes, but they're doing their job.
Sharkface217
The "just doing my job" thing is way overrated.
D3green
Yeah were they just doing their job with me. Don't ask, just agree or disagree.
YamiBattousai
Their job is to keep people safe... If there is a threat of someone being hurt/raped/murdered/ect. then the police do have the right to interfere with it because it is there job... Sorry I'm sticking up for the police... Think of it this way, if you got a phone message that suggesting you were being stalked and possibly this person was trying to murder/rape/hurt/ect. you would call the police to investigate it, would you not?
D3green
That all depends. In my case I have nothing more to say. However I am going to say that what you knw of the police is a lyi and have no clue as to what the truth is.
