Zero Tolerance at School Doesn’t Work

I found a study (pointed to from Plastic.com) entitled “Zero
Tolerance, Zero Evidence” that shows that there is no proof that the
draconian zero tolerance policies of today’s schools have had ANY
benefit to students, and that they are solely a political “feel-good”
measure.

Here’s a link to a PDF of the study paper. I would recommend sending
it to your kids’ schools, to let them know that their current tactics
of suspending kids for drawing pictures of guns and such nonsense is
no longer considered “de rigeur” by everyone.
