I'd take that with a grain of salt until all the facts
are in... You see this a lot. Whenever a kid gets in
trouble at school, the school officials are not allowed
to comment because of confidentiality regs, but the kid
(and his or her parents and lawyers) can say any damn
thing without fear of contradiction. I'd be willing to
bet that there's more to this story, but we won't hear
about it for a long time, if ever.

That's what I thought and tried to look around for an article or two on it.
Seems the little tyke was threatening to cut his self and had trouble with
that in the past.

But one comment was right about young nervous systems and all..

It's very, very difficult for me to imagine a scenario in which a
policeman would be justified in tazering a six-year-old child.

There may be more to the story but we are talking rubber bands here.
This kind of crap ranks up there with the stories you see about kids
suspended and expelled for bringing cold meds and butter knives to
school.

I saw an AP story this morning where the FCC rightfully said The cusing
and violence in Saving Private Ryan was not considered obsence. But
there was a quote in the article which the FCC said "its indecency and
profanity guidelines were not applicable to violent programming."
Basically you can't watch em make the baby but you can watch em kill
the baby.

And lastly I read where smokers may no longer carry cigarette lighters
in the airport security areas and on airplanes.

Somewhere along the way, the baby went out with the bath water, and
zero tolerance became an excuse for not having common sense.

Somewhere along the line we have gotten very lost

I'm glad to see someone came up with a use for Sherry besides ruining a
cut of meat. But then again if she'd just cut his meat, the jail time
might have been less.
