Stupid School Administrators

In the grand tradition of zero tolerance policies in schools, another school district has proved that it can be stupider than another districts.

Cornerstone at Pedregal School, a public school in California for k - 5th grade, has a tradition whereby the 5th graders graduating can decorate their caps. Children put little plastic animals on their caps or school scenes or whatever. About 10 of the children happened to put miniature plastic toy soldiers.

The Principal, Denise Leonard was aghast because these little soldiers actually had toy guns. Toy guns mind you! Well this just couldn't do. She ordered the children to cut off the guns. Yup, the little guys now had sawed-off m-16's.

Leonard cited school zero tolerance policy against weapons on school grounds. She backed that up by citing the Federal guns in school law. But guess what, folks. Federal law makes no mention of miniature toy guns. It is talking about the real bang-bang things.

Denise Leonard is a fool & a jackass & should be removed from her overpaid position. She is one of the politically-correct crowd, the ones who lack common sense & are more concerned pushing their ridiculous agendas then helping the children in their care. Her inane actions will cause more harm to the children then ever a miniature toy gun will. We repeat - she is a fool & a jackass.

Too many children are being carted away in handcuffs or expelled for what otherwise should be a talk to the child or parent, if even that is warranted. God, we hate the jerks.
