TOLERATING ZERO TOLERANCE
Colorado Taking Welcome Step in Scrutinizing Policies
The only place a zero-tolerance policy looks good is on paper. This is
particularly true when it comes to children -- a community doesn't
want its schools to tolerate bullies, or campus drug abuse, or
underage drinking and driving. We just won't tolerate that!
In practice, the policies get all tripped up in reality, with some
children being punished in outrageous ways for minor infractions and
some authorities being hamstrung by the policies they've either
enacted or are ordered to follow.
