Finally, something has happened that actually has people on the left upset. This time the school's zero tolerance regarding students bringing anything to school that even remotely looks like a weapon has gotten a young Muslim boy in trouble. While there was little outrage over the dozens of other students suspended for toys, people are now crying discrimination. It doesn't fit considering the latest student is in good company for bullshit suspensions, but we've come to expect Obama and the Dems to cry discrimination whenever the person is anything other than white.
Some kids have been suspended for toys or innocent gestures that violate the school's draconian policy on weapons and drugs. Whether it's a toy bubble gun or an aspirin, students have found themselves in serious trouble for violating the zero tolerance policy.
It's reasonable to expect that students shouldn't come to school packing guns, knives or any kind of illegal drugs, but to punish them for simply mentioning a weapon is stupid.
Don't the school officials understand the difference between a student making a real threat and a student talking about a hunting trip? Do they know the difference between a teen girl taking Midol and a criminal selling crack? Allowing a student to carry their own asthma inhaler will not encourage drug use. Why must some treat every person like they are total idiots in need of being dictated to for their own good? Some parents actually raise their children and don't need schools to treat them like a group of mindless sheep.
Judging from the way they've conducted themselves these last years, I'd say they don't see any difference between criminals and average kids.
Average kids play pretend and sometimes that involves guns. Get over it. The student most likely to pose a danger won't be talking much. It will be some anti-social individual who was likely prescribed drugs for depression. It will be a student that has been suspended. Some shootings occurred while the student was on suspension. The schools have yet to spot a potential threat because they are too busy punishing innocent students over nothing.
They ban everything from toy guns to asthma inhalers because of insane policies. No drug dealer was ever stopped by zero tolerance, just as no shooter was ever stopped by a 'gun-free zone' sign. Yet, the schools and other places continue this insane practice of punishing political incorrectness. Talking about a gun is politically incorrect and highly discouraged. If the left can't outlaw them, plan B is to teach children that only evil people like guns. And they will show children how bad people get punished for even talking about guns.
It's also politically incorrect, in the current climate, to criticize Muslims so the left has come out to defend a Muslim student even though he clearly violated the stupid school rules.
Instead of selectively defending students, how about trade zero tolerance for something more sensible?
How did the last few generations do it? We all had guns, we took aspirin to school and yet there was no violence. Clamping down on toys and the asthmatic kid who has an inhaler in his pocket for emergencies will not make anyone safer. The real danger goes unnoticed while the reactionary schools focus on the wrong things. If it was about safety, I think they would have abandoned the rules regarding drawing pictures of guns. It's a gun control issue disguised as a safety issue and it's time to stop it.
