Listen to why there are times when you have to step back from the relentless stupidity and lack of commons sense that has become our day to day lives. Such is the case when you take the America desire to rid our schools of drugs, and the actual results of so called ‘zero tolerance’ policies. Such policies instituted to protect students, are far more often used to create a problem where there really isn’t one, and such is the case being taken up by the supreme court next month when they must decide if the act of forcing a 13 year old girl to strip naked is appropriate if you have no evidence, no real reason to do so, other than an unsubstantiated supposition that she may, possibly be in possession of…prescription strength Ibuprofen…that’s right, she may have a single pill that has the same dose as two regular pills. Thank goodness it wasn’t for some really stupid reason.
