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. Don Hull Costa Mesa - --- MAP posted-by: Thunder
