My friend's 15 year old boy was suspended for two weeks for threatening to beat up a kid. The so-called "zero tolerance" policy.
The kid he threatened to beat up was harrassing a girl and so was "threatened". My friend's boy did the right thing and said to him "leave her alone or I'll beat the shit out of you". The kid squealed and my friend's boy was suspended.
What's going to happen if schoolyard justice is disallowed? What would happen to our heros like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood if they had the "zero tolerance" policy when they grew up?
