"So, Kid A jumped Kid B in the hallway, called them a bigoted slur, then beat Kid B so badly he had to go to the hospital. Kid B tried to fight back, but was overwhelmed. Our solution is that kids are going to be suspended for an equal amount of time and suffer equal repercussions, because zero tolerance."
Zero tolerance is the absence of humanity as a policy. It's abhorrent.
Totally.
My mom would always ask, "Why didn't you walk away?" And I would respond "I get suspended either way, at least this way everyone knows not to fuck with me."
I am so glad I haven't had to hit someone in a long time.
That, and have you ever tried to "walk away" when there are like five people chasing you with the intent of beating you up? Good luck with that.
JFK should have just walked away from Lee Harvey Oswald instead of encouraging him
Oswald was only doing it to get a rise out of him. Kennedy should have been the bigger man. Really, he's just as culpable for giving Oswald the reaction he wanted.
