Zero Tolerance must end

The quantity illustrates that the vicious consequences of ZT are not isolated
events. They are embedded into one of the most important institutions of
society: the educational system. When the school principal in Goose Creek
justified police pointing guns at innocent students he did so by saying he would
use "any means" to keep his school "clean."

A backlash is developing among students who are reportedly saying the same thing
nationwide. Many schools now resemble prisons with hidden security cameras,
metal detectors, guards, random searches, drug-sniffing dogs, and searches
without warrants.
