Too bad common sense has become an oxymoron.....

Common sense isn't so common anymore.

They would rather be politicaly correct, than do what's right for the kids. Who would have thought that about Montana.

Only AFTER public outcry did the principal say that he wouldn't consider expulsion.... wow.

He should move to NY.

In this case, I think the problem is 'zero tolerance' policies. The idea that people directly involved are unable to reach the correct decision, and are required (by School District policy; or by State law; or Federal law) to impose a sentence without regard for the facts implies that legislators can divine all possible scenarios.

I'm no fan of common sense, it's often wrong.

I once heard it said that "Common sense is an uncommon virtue".

I think common sense is the actual useful application of intelligence. Not to be confused with "Common sense gun laws"...

What I find absolutely preposterous is that school officials even claim the right to search a students vehicle that is NOT parked on school grounds in the "interest of student safety".

In doing so, if they find so much as a plastic knife, the student can be expelled.

While I understand that this is not the case in this situation, it happens all of the time and, at least to me, seems a flat out violation of the Fourth Amendment.
