Weapons in School: Zero Tolerance

It's not actually a "zero tolerance" policy if she was only warned. If she violated the policy, she should be expelled.

"zero tolerance" policies are stupid. Teachers and administration should make judgment calls based on each situation, and they should be intelligent about it.

When I was in high school, we were studying ancient and medieval history, and one of the students brought in a home made mace for "show and tell." The teacher was pleased.
