October 2010: Tolerating Zero Tolerance?
By Brian N. Moore, RSBS
It all starts with good enough intent. Who could argue when a
politician takes a hard line and says into the camera, “We will
have zero tolerance when it comes to drugs or guns in our
schools.” This is almost always followed by a rousing round of
cheers and applause.
Keeping kids safe is always the way to go, right? But what if you are
the parent of an adorable third grader who is suspended because zero
tolerance to drugs includes over-the-counter cough drops? This is just
one example of the many intricate traps of zero tolerance that has led
to debate after debate over the years.
Perhaps now is the right time to revisit the issue and define just what
things we really do have zero tolerance for in schools.
