Zero Tolerance Intelligence

Overreaction is the New Education:

A Pittsburgh-area teenager has been suspended from middle school when a random search turned up an eyebrow shaver in her handbag. Officials at Linton Middle School in Penn Hills recommended at a Wednesday disciplinary hearing that 15-year-old be expelled for the rest of this year and 45 days next year.

The teen said she doesn't consider the eyebrow trimmer a weapon. She fears expulsion will hurt her chances of becoming a nurse-anesthetist. She's a Girl Scout and a member of the school's basketball team, choir and leadership team.


A real hardened criminal, ain't she? She'll take a lesson from this, but it won't be the one the lowbrows on the disciplinary board suppose. Sounds like they've been using eye-cue shavers on themselves.

The device in question:



If I need an improvised weapon, and I've a choice between that thing and a mechanical pencil... Oops! Now I've gone and done it; we'll have to ban mechanical pencils. Sorry, kids.

And no nail clippers, either. You could injure somebody with them -- if they stood very, very still and you worked really hard at it.

Better round off the corners of that coffee table before somebody bangs a funny bone.

And why, pray tell, do you still have metal and wood objects in your house? Aren't you aware they could be fashioned into a weapon?!

Plastic garbage bags?!?! My God, man! Somebody could suffocate a child with those things!!!

ARE YOU AWARE THAT COMPUTER KEYBOARD COULD BE USED TO BLUDGEON SOMEONE TO DEATH?!
