A View from the Beach

One day you wash up on the beach, wet and naked. Another day you wash back out. In between, the scenery changes constantly.

The Stupidest Zero Tolerance Stories of 2014

Some I've covered already, some I saw and passed on, some are new to me, but it's useful to review such things to show that they are not isolated events, they are part of pattern of thinking by people in authority that needs ridicule.
1. Student, 13, shares lunch, gets detention
2. Sunscreen not allowed on field trip—kids might drink it
3. Kindergarten cancels its year-end show to allow more time for college prep
4. Teacher suspended on weapons charge for demonstrating carpentry tools
5. School bus driver loses job for keeping kids warm when bus breaks down
6. 79-year-old substitute teacher fired for having student-friends on Facebook
7. Student suspended for slicing apple with knife during health food demonstration
8. School goes on lockdown when mom fails to sign-in
9. Girl in wet bathing suit forced to stand outside… in February… in Minnesota… due to school policy
10. Student suspended for twirling pencil, subjected to five-hour evaluation
