      You say that like it’s a law of nature and not a choice made by school administrators.

        I don’t think it’s a law of nature. But within a school it’s as close as it gets. The rule is literally called “zero tolerance”.

          Yeah and it is crap. The rule needs fuckin banned from school administrators being allowed to use it, it only exists to protect the school from liability at the expense of the safety of children, it is beyond stupid.
