Zero tolerance crap

Another example of how schools are completely losing touch with reality:

Administrators searched the 17-year-old student’s car about 1:30 p.m. after receiving information from another student about the location of the guns.

A rifle, a pistol and ammunition were found in the vehicle. The guns were not loaded at the time. The student had left the guns in the car after going shooting during the weekend.

And this was in Alaska?! St Sarah, save us!

Seriously, in a state with as self-reliant a culture as Alaska, this should not be happening. But school policies are designed so as not to have to exercise judgement, simply follow the 'policy'.

Zero tolerance - last refuge of trained monkeys.*
