Administrators at schools use bad judgment

What a breath of fresh air from Dan Goldberg and the following letter by Sheri Hancock.

We can only describe as brainless those principals and superintendents who have children arrested or expelled for innocently bringing to school a tiny Boy Scout pen knife on a key chain.

These bureaucrats defend their policy by calling it "zero tolerance," but if they can't tell the difference between criminal intent and innocent forgetfulness, we should call it "zero judgment."

And any school official who treats our children as dangerous felons should be fired because they're unfit to stand in loco parentis when we entrust our children to their care.

The police didn't shine too brightly here, either.

What next? Police raids on school cafeterias containing knives and forks?
