Have you even been reading the paper regarding FCPS?  [/quote]

You're assuming FCPS is the only solution, so their zero tolerance policy matters. It doesn't. What matters is a child's safety. And a child has a right to defend himself. If he/she gets expelled for that, you simply move it higher and higher, until someone has some common sense.[/quote]

Student rights in school are different from the rights all citizens in the USA have.

The federal and state government can't  jail someone for saying "F---- the president!"  or wearing a T-shirt to that effect -- that would be a violation of the right to free speech.  But a school could make a rule suspending a child for using profanity, even if she were making a political statement.

The same is true for "self defense".   School can suspend children for "fighting" even if they were just defending themselves.[/quote]

They can because they get away with it. Fight back, things change[/quote]
