Somewhere along the way, we crept out of the dark ages, began to grow, then did a massive 180 back into being pussies. What the fuck has become of us?

We baby-proofed everything, and removed natural selection, ensuring a generation of Stepford-bot-like people that can't fucking think for themselves, and favor total paternalism over actually having the overwhelming [sic] responsibility of real decision-making and personal discretion.

Zero tolerance removes INTENT from the law process as a consideration, and that's fucking retarded.

Zero Tolerance has nothing at all to do with the safety or well being of the child/student.

It is nothing more than a "safety fence" of the school admins to keep themselves safe from being sued.

People don't want to be responsible anymore. They don't want to take care of themselves, their family, their kids, their pets, or anything else. Everyone is afraid to hurt each others feelings or have a differing opinion. It's sad and disgusting.

I just shake my head at all of this. We are simply a product of our our demise.

Zero tolerance is an easy way to avoid making decisions.
