Zero Tolerance Means Zero Brains

There are those who presume to rule over us, whether we will or not. Some occupy high office, with titles we recognize, faces on TV, and names we know. Others secrete themselves in the bureaucracy, issuing regulations with the force of law but without the accountability that comes with elected position. Some are on the national scale. Others merely pollute the small region that unhappily houses them.
Comes now a story out of Denver, Colorado. Read it and weep for the destruction of good sense and the ascendancy of idiocy.
Did you know that a fabrication of foam and duct tape, used as a prop in a marching drill team for the Young Marines, constitutes a ''dangerous weapon'' that REQUIRES a high school student to be expelled from High School?
Unhappily, some of the worst idiots are in the school systems. Some blame the unions. They're wrong, mostly. The unions are a symptom of idiocy, not the first cause.
Meanwhile, reflect that imbeciles such as this have day-to-day control over YOUR kids, and your neighbors' kids and on down the line.
