More details here. From a Tennessee public school: "According to the Williamson County School System, self defense is no defense when it comes to getting suspended for fighting. "
Insane.

When will there be zero tolerance for zero tolerance?
Because idiocy like this is just remarkable: "A 10-year-old Florida girl faces felony weapons charges after bringing a small steak knife to school to cut up her lunch, according to a report on WFTV.com. School officials say the Ocala 5th grader had brought a piece of steak for her lunch, and had brought a steak knife. According to the report, a couple of teachers took the utensil and called authorities, who arrested the girl and took her to the county’s juvenile assessment center.
"She did not use it inappropriately. She did not threaten anyone with it. She didn't pull it out and brandish it. Nothing of that nature," explained Marion County School Spokesman Kevin Christian, who added that it made no difference what the knife was being used for, they had no choice but to call police."
Is she still in chains? In handcuffs? Is she in maximum security lockdown?
Where did public school bureaucrats get the idea that rules with absolutely no flexibility are a good idea?
