Susan, I guess we will just have to disagree about the effectiveness of zero-tolerance.

If suspending a girl for singing a parody has prevented a Columbine incident, then life is much better. If that girl develops other problems because of this incident, I hope we will learn from it as well.

I'm not a fan of being PC. I do think that some teachers and administrators need to use a little more common sense and perhaps teach it as well.
