The over reaction and zero tolerance thing has gotten way out of hand. Years ago when my wife worked at Richmond Hill elementary a kindergarden kid was expelled from school because he brought his GI Joe and it's toy gun to school, and of course the school had a zero tolerance for weapons.
Story in news a while back about deaf/mute child having hand-sign conversation, made handsign for gun (finger and thumb), was observed by non-deaf staff, reported and expelled for making "threating gesture".
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
