Reply #11: Zero tolerance policies are a joke. [View All]

[David West]

When I was in 6th grade, the school received an "anonymous bomb threat" (from a prankster student, no doubt) and I was searched as some sort of "usual suspect" because I had drawn weapons on the name tag on my desk. Medieval weapons. Swords, bows, spears, and the like. They even went so far as to check inside my ravioli-filled thermos despite my teacher telling them they were wasting their time and I was a good kid. True story.

I probably should have been offended, but I just thought it was funny.
