If the right wing doesn't want it and the liberals don't want it, then why do we still have it?
Because some control freaks won't let go of it. Once implemented, it's so difficult to stop something no matter how much it fails.
Sorry, but I think liberal teachers against gun control enjoy punishing children whose parents buy them toy guns.
Some teachers add their own rules to the list. Students get in trouble for wearing patriotic shirts, saying 'Bless you' when someone sneezes and other equally ridiculous things. Colleges are worse when it comes to controlling speech and behavior.
It's listed in the school handbooks. It's not arbitrary. It's usually not in control of the principal but the school board.
The school board would likely change it if enough teachers protested. Also, so many teachers have been called out for adding their own rules. When they take it upon themselves to expand the rules, I suspect they enjoy it.
The rules would change if enough teachers joined parents and confronted the school board.
