ZERO TOLERANCE: MISGUIDED IN CONCEPT, INEPTLY EXECUTED, MINDLESSLY PUNITIVE 
AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY INTRUSIVE

"Zero" tolerance really isn't. If it were, the violator would be expelled 
after the first violation. Instead, he/she is transferred.That's like 
eating in a restaurant and finding a fly in your soup. The waiter transfers 
it to the salad instead of discarding it altogether. Zero tolerance is a 
typical government program: misguided in concept, ineptly executed, 
mindlessly punitive and unconstitutionally intrusive.
