Zero Tolerance, Zero Sense 4

A seven-year-old boy, suspended after taking a novelty pen onto a school bus, has filed a federal suit against school officials in Pennsylvania alleging the district’s weapons policy is unconstitutional.

Officials punished the boy with a four-day suspension and branded him a “weapons offender” for possessing the pen, which emitted a small shock when the cap was pressed.

But it’s okay for a gun nut to pack heat in a bar.

You couldn’t make this stuff up.

    There is no common sense in this world anymore.

    The kid is seven, for Pete’s sake, and he’s being treated like Sirhan Sirhan.

     

    How stupid do you have to be to become a school administrator?

    I would have been in jail for pepper gum, stink perfume and exploding cigarette loads.

    Can you imagine what they would have done to some kid who showed up with a Fanner Fifty.
