An Accelerated Learning Program

Laura Dennis’ son Graham had a pen knife and a Leatherman that school authorities found while they searched a team bus before it headed to a game. He now faces jail time and damage to his permanent record. [More]
And if he doesn't want to go, oath-breaking armed state enforcers will threaten him with up-to-lethal force.

My favorite line:
Doug Edsall’s son Casey had a lighter he also used to fix his lacrosse stick.  The school classified it as an explosive device.

How "progressive" of them.

Education, domestic enemy-style...let us hope these kids learn from it, and never forget.

OK, just so I understand this correctly... we confiscated a lighter and small pen knife from two students, then suspended both, arrested one, BUT... we let both of them keep their four-foot wood clubs (lacrosse sticks) they were carrying???

One of these days some student will beat to death another student with a five-pound Calculus textbook and then we'll ban those from schools too.

Zero tolerance, zero intelligence.

Of course, if you don't like the laws, one should push to get it changed via politics. And don't hate on the cops who are just enforcing the law. Any criticism is cop-hating, so sayeth Massad Ayoob...

Calc books are repressive and too heavy. The people should just buy all students kindles and ipads. :)

The only hope the American people have is to have a total economic crash. This will remove the federal money out of the states which is has been used to create a repressive out of control government on all levels. The unionized parasites on all levels have destroyed this country in making decent Americans subjects. The degree of selfishness of government parasites is clear. They willing are destroying America for their children because they don't want to work in a real job.
