Do we need more proof that many school bureaucrats are idiots?

You can bet she won't save anybody else. We have got to do something to stop this politically correct zero tolerance B.S. It is ruining our country. We are letting the inmates run the asylum.

Where did these people learn to think? And they're teaching our children how to think? It makes me shudder.

Many educational bureaucrats never learned to think. Only to blindly follow their own idiotic rules.

Children are usually not taught to think for themselves any more. Critical thinking is becoming a thing of the past. Many teachers can't think for themselves. They accept whatever propaganda they have been handed by their superiors and the media. If I had young children I would home school.

It seems like there trying to indoctrinate our children into a blind obedience society.

I'm surprised the boys parents aren't outraged for her interfering with his right to.......Um....cut himself?

It seems like, to me, the more degrees they tack behind their names the more stupid they become. PhD is a very scary term!

And they're deathly afraid that the kids may learn what -they never did. Which would be a real danger.
What I mostly see the dim kids learning is to fear authority and the bright ones learning to disdain and loathe it. That's pretty much where my less than charitable opinion of those who consider themselves to be "in authority" comes from.

Am extremely convinced that Adrionna Harris is a true hero and should receive a citation for saving another human being. The teacher's and administration staff should all be removed for the lack of common sense. The words of "zero tolerance" should be banned from the English language.

I have zero tolerance for zero tolerance, but 2 zeros don't make a positive.
