Willie,<br><br>You are exactly right. Aggressive enforcement of weapons (and drug) violations at school is absolutely necessary and there should be a zero percent tolerance. I think the problem is that we try to make it "one size fits all" and give up our responsibility to think and act on each case as the facts require. If the "possess a knife--get expelled" rule is applied in a manner that we treat the butter knife for spreading peanut butter the same as the double-edged switchblade, we lose the respect of the children (and their parents). I think there are fewer stupid laws than most people think--but a lot of laws are applied stupidly.
