We can thank overly vague "zero tolerance" policies and school administrators that refuse to use common sense for the need for such things as the "pop tart" bill. In our high school about 2 years ago, a student was arrested on a felony firearms charge. He was expelled and held without bail for several months in jail. Oh by the way, his weapon was a Sharpie. He drew a picture of a gun on the bathroom wall. The grand jury no billed him and he was released from jail. In the meantime, he spent several months in a place where he did not belong.

Since he was a senior, he did not get to graduate from high school. I think I heard he had to go get a GED.

He should have used something less lethal like a "dry erase" marker. Nevertheless, the school should have made him repaint the wall that he defaced and that would have taught him a lesson.
