Part of the problem is school teachers and administrators are quaking in their boots over this shit. They risk being fired and/or sued if some other parent catches wind of an incident where they used good judgment rather than follow the strictest interpretation of the law.

Say some kid takes the little green army man from their cupcake home, and the parent freaks out, then the shit hits the fan. I think the law itself is the big problem, an unnecessary "feel good" move that does no good and creates a toxic environment for everyone.
