Girl’s arrest for doodling raises concerns about zero tolerance – CNN.com
Kenneth Trump, a security expert who founded the National School Safety and Security Services consulting firm, said focusing on security is essential to the safety of other students. He said zero tolerance policies can work if “common sense is applied.”
Apparently, he doesn’t know what zero tolerance means. No common sense, no reasoning, no stepping back. Non, zero, whatsoever. You just throw the book at people blindly and say you were “only following orders” (a very successful defense, if I may say so myself).
The story itself is inane. The only real thing I have to wonder is exactly what was going through the officers minds when they put the handcuffs on the girl. That has to be a WTF moment.
