HUH?
This anti-zero tolerance article starts out normal enough but it then veers into tin-foil hat territory:
• Does the juxtaposition of saber-rattling, gun-toting, violent images of buccaneers, warriors or conquistadors designed to promote school spirit seem incongruous to a vigorously enforced zero-tolerance policy?
• What conflicting messages are being received by students, parents and staff when these powerful school symbols contrast and contradict?
• Is my community able and ready to discuss ending mascot hypocrisy?
Is he claiming that school mascots cause school violence? He’ll never make tenure track this way. (Hat tip to Diane)

Daryl, I think you misread this. I think he’s saying that it’s stupid to have zero tolerance and violent mascots at the same time and the obvious thing to do is to drop the zero tolerance. |

Hey, I’m out of tin foil. Thanks for reminding me. Could you remind me again before I go shopping on Saturday as I’ve already forgotten it this week? Just because you’re paranoid does not mean they’re not out to get you. |

Sorry for the double post. It gave me an error so I tried again and got another error. I assumed you had comments turned off and moved on. Now I come back today and find that it posted twice. |
