Yea, this zero tolerance crap has gotten way, way, waaaay out of hand. I've read about high school students getting suspended/expelled for have Advil. Indiana passed a law outlawing knives of any kind on school grounds. I can't carry my Case pocket knife if I go my daughter's classroom. This law was passed because some student brought a machette to school and hacked somebody with it.
This is the first I've heard of any such law here in Indiana.
The government should be required to publish new laws loud and long, especially new laws that make no sense whatsoever.

The solution, of course;
Just keep right on voting in the same garbage election after election...thus sending the message to the power-mad that you are HAPPY with all the new laws.
Point the finger for laws such as this directly at yourself...the guilty party.
Witness the election coming up.."We GOT to vote for the lessor of two evils"...or so the smart guys tell us....0
