    • The Wisdom of Zero Tolerance Policies

       August 13, 2005

    James posted a link to an article about a Kansas teen who was just awarded $250,000 in a bullying lawsuit. The case started an interesting debate about what schools should be responsible for.

    I'm no fan of zero tolerance policies. We pay some people (judges, school administrators) the big bucks because we expect them to make tough decisions. Zero tolerance sounds nice and it might make some people happy, but it's at the expense of justice.

    Anyway, that's my one cent. There's a great discussion on the topic in our Daily Page comments section.
