That's the problem- I started HS in Jefferson County the year after Columbine, do you have any idea how tyrannical that was? We weren't even allowed backpacks my freshman year! You fought, regardless of who started it or whatnot, or even if you didn't throw a punch, both parties were suspended. That's how incredibly fucking stupid zero tolerance is. What kind of a lesson is that teaching kids? Even if you defend yourself you're still bad? If someone is attacking you, you hit that MFer. That's what I was taught and that's what I'll teach my kids.
