It’s amazing when people with such diverse opinions on many subjects can come together with common sense. The Policy of getting rid of “Zero Tolerance” is such a cause. It is a policy that those from the right have been complaining about for years and now the administration has decided to jump in.
This law was put into effect to prevent acts of violence at schools but instead has brought out the P.C Police where even saying the word bang can subject a student to suspension. When you silence people from speaking they are more likely to act out on the thoughts that are bottled up inside. Policies like “Zero Tolerance” were adapted with good intentions but like other “extreme measures” went way to far. “Zero Tolerance” have made “criminals of thousands of innocent children who were suspended or put under the microscope for even the smallest infraction. This has put an unnecessary label on many innocent student and left them stigmatized. The “truth is the truth” and therefore when bad policies are put into effect from the right or left they need to be thrown out not our students.
