Yep. A few years back, we had to push for a state law that would allow kids with severe asthma to be able to carry their meds with them at school (which was beeing denied due to “zero tolerance” drug policies). Kids were at risk of dying because of this stupid policy.

The law passed by a uniamous vote, BTW.

Mark Twain said it best:

“In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards…”

The repeated use of the term “expelled” in the WCCO piece seems pretty clear; these students were permanently cast forth.

This is so comically stupid.

Unless they had some evidence that these kids were going to rip people apart with these swords this is a ridiculous decision.

What do they mean when they say “expelled.” Does that mean something worse than suspended, which would be stupid enough?

Wouldn’t you have to be sure that the same people who rightfully called you tasteless for making implications because the victim’s last name might not sound like yours would be guilty of making the same tasteless remark?

I’d hang back on this Klaseus fellow. I think he’s been through enough.

Not at all.

The people that made those comments got called on them just like you did.

Talk about hypocrisy.
