Common sense was never really common, but in today's world it's all but extinct. Idiocy more aptly describes the school systems attitudes now.

Do you believe officials at Public School 52 overreacted to Patrick Timoney's 2-inch-long toy gun?
Yes. It was only 2 inches long! 92%
No. Size does not matter in this case. 8%

i believ it was Albert Einstein who said:
At least the kid had better luck than another kid had a vew years ago. That kid got suspended (and IIRC taken in by police) for bringing a one inch long plastic pistol to school.
This incident simply supports what I've long been saying:
Zero Tolerance policies equal Zero Intelligence.
The man had a point.There are only two things which are infinite: the universe nd human stupidity.

Re: OT - Fer the luvva Pete...! ! ! !
Exactly. They are basically saying that the school administrators aren't smart enough to make their own decisions so we will relieve them of the burden. It provides cover for the school administrators such that they no longer have to think. In this case though, the administrator pulled the kid into the office and probably had him sign some sort of confession as was referred to in the article as a "they made me sign a statement". Can you imagine ... a fourth grader in the face of an adult, the principle, being forced to sign a statement without a parent, guardian, or attorney present. The administrator will flee for the legal cover of the School District.Doc Hudson wrote:... Zero Tolerance policies equal Zero Intelligence.

Re: OT - Fer the luvva Pete...! ! ! !
I'll remind you of where zero tolerance came from. Certain ethnic groups were being (rightly) suspended and expelled way out of proportion to there % representation in the school. Naturally, this was because of White Man keeping his foot on their necks and being racist. In order to get an equal amount of white kids involved in suspentions and expellings, they had to adopt a zero tolerence policy.....Think it through and you'll see I'm right. It was either that, or let the minority kids off the hook for really serious crimes in the school. You'll notice this goes hand in hand with outcome based graduation rates: Kids that have no business moving on to the next class, but are passed anyway to avoid "problems" of race baiters.

Re: OT - Fer the luvva Pete...! ! ! !
Common sense?
Zero Tolerance?
Are you people really buying that line of bull?
This is just the simple continuation of the One World Gov. "progressive" agenda to remove any familiarization of American youth with any form of tool that can be used for self defense. When They finally feel they can make a military move to take over the ...LAST...free country on earth,... they don't want to face a generation of citizens who grew up playing with such tools.
How do you think we are the only country left? Why do you think when they executed gun confiscation, every country they did it in, the citizens rolled over like sheep?
What was the latest move in Great Britain? Was it something about removing the points on kitchen knives, or something like that?
This is no joke, guys! This is called generational mind control! This is how this country will eventually be taken over,.... FROM WITHIN!

My son purchased a bunch of these off a site called "Brick Arms" for his LEGO's years ago. Some are pretty darn details, such as their WWII weapon pack. Cool little toys, but how anyone could possibly wig out over these is beyond stupidity and well into the absurd!
Now, that being said, I don't think kids should take toys to school period. Focus should be on real education...
Re: OT - Fer the luvva Pete...! ! ! !
The "principle" looks like she has a MUCH larger one up her a**, and acts like it, too. Just like the kid from up the road who was expelled from Willows High School for having his 870 in his PU, 2 blocks from school property. Thankfully, his expulsion was overruled in court. We always carried guns around when we were kids, but NOOOOOOO, not these days. America has lost it's ability to THINK!

Re: OT - Fer the luvva Pete...! ! ! !
An important fact is over-looked in this idiotic fracas, and that is there was NO GUN.
There was only a child's toy.
I don't suppose an adult could have intervened at some point and said "Put it away".

Personally I'd be upset over my kid being told to put it away too. If one of my daughters want's to play with a 2" toy gun (or a full size one for that matter) in school, good for them, leave em the heck alone. Fear of guns by the sheep in the general public has gone way over board.FWiedner wrote:An important fact is over-looked in this idiotic fracas, and that is there was NO GUN.

If you love you children, don't send them to "public" schools unless you plan on 'dis-indoctrinating' them regularly - it may take less time and raise your blood pressure less to just home-school them.

I work in "the system" at an elementary school, and you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Except I won't use the word, "minority". The hispanic kids in our school are some of the best behaved and most respectful students we have. It's the blacks that are such a problem. The only common sense in our system is at the teacher and teacher's aide level. Above them are nothing but idiots and cowards. Our district has a "Zero Tolerance" policy for bullying, but it's a joke! My son is being bullied regularly by some black students. The teacher has done all she can do. The problem is that the administrators who make the big bucks are afraid of confronting the bullies' parents. The sad thing is that there's nothing I can do about it without getting arrested and/or losing my job.
There are two things that regularly replace "common sense": Greed and Cowardice.
A few years ago, a student in our school was suspended for bringing a "gun" to school. It was one of those cheap 3" long bright orange plastic squirt guns you can get at the local dollar store.

When I was in school, a very long time ago, Dad always told me to own up to what I did, but if the punishment seemed unreasonable, very unlikely, that I could always call him before they whacked my butt. I told my kids the same thing. I only used that option one time, a real jerk of a teacher and Dad informed him that should he whip me there'd be another butt whupping handed out immediately following. I didn't get whipped. BTW, Dad's actions would be a felony in my state now.
My oldest is 25 now and when he was in school a written permission to discipline, paddle, had to be signed by the parent before it was done. The grade school principal, the same one I had that whipped a whole classroom full of boys twice because he didn't know who committed whatever he was mad about, told me he could whip my child without my permission anytime he so desired. Now, I always supported the principals or teachers right to paddle my kids when needed, I just believe that I have the final decision on that issue every time, so when he told me that my neck got a little red. He was informed that should that ever occur he'd be in jail for battery before the sun set. He thought that was funny...until he got the letter from the District Attorney a couple of days later explaining the facts of the real world, which is not the one that most teachers live in, to him. I never had another problem with him and he probably paddled my boy five or six time after that, with my permission before it happened.

Zero tolerance has become the modern Puritanism. Best defined, I think, by H.L. Mencken as, "The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy."
What most people call a "right" is the equivalent of a dog walking on a leash. Just because your leash is a little longer than the other dogs' does not mean you don't have a master.
Re: OT - Fer the luvva Pete...! ! ! !
"Zero Tolerance ",... is just plain and simple FASCIST MIND CONTROL OF THE MASSES at an early enough age, as to be most impressionable upon the young mind! To permanently instill a severe FEAR of Big Brother Punishment!
