Zero Tolerance Watch
Shouting "Jesus Christ" gets team disqualified from the Tennessee state doubles title match. "You allow 'Jesus' and you allow 'Christ,' but you won't allow them together?" Boyd asked Genosi. "That's ridiculous." Thats an understatement.
Finally, kids themselves are starting to take an interest in the ridiculuous zero-tolerance policies that many schools now have. One graduating class in Florida is going to boycott their own ceremony unless Lindsay Brown, who was suspended and banned from her own graduation after security found a kitchen knife in her car, is allowed to participate in the graduation. This girl is a National Merit Scholar, and the knife fell out of a box in her car while she moved into a new apartment over the weekend. And thanks to Gordon we know where to direct our anger.

I recommend that we webmasters make an issue of this. It's so rare that we have something like an email adress to let the morons in charge know what we think. I say call the bastard. Fill up his voice mail with messages telling him how stupid their policies are. Use words like 'draconian'.
