The police state is ramping up, and it's partly because of the incredibly ****ing stupid and lazy pricks who defend horrible ideas like "no tolerance" rules and overreactive policing.

What the police do is seperate from what the school does. Due to lack of details, I have no idea if police action is warranted. It doesn't seem like there was there was intent to hurt anyone.

However, I don't think a school can just sit there and ignore a kid who is trying to create a small explosion. Again, this isn't an image of a gun or an inappropriate t-shirt. I don't see how someone can argue for a standard that says it is ok for kids to even goof around with chemicals for the purpose of causing an explosion. You want to allow your kids at home to do that, I guess it is up to the parent. I'd say a school has to be a bit more strict.

Why would I? Someone already started a thread, and it is here.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see the "please." Let me try again.

I didn't start the ****ing thread, so please go **** yourself, moron.

There's not sufficient justification for the punishment in the story, yet you're going zero tolerance anyway. You're part of the problem, not the solution.

You can create an explosion from common stuff you probably have right now in your garage or under your sink. For a kid to try that stuff at school is beyond stupid and potentially, quite dangerous. It would be pretty stupid of the school to simply shrug it off.

It would. But the charges just seem ridiculous.

We created a small explosion in school when I was a kid, and we shattered a beaker in the process. Every one of us survived the experience, nobody got punished and the police were never called in. We were told to strictly follow the teacher's instructions from then on, and that was it.

I grant you that the students from the class next door did come running in to see what had happened, but none of them were injured or killed either.

Meh. Not worth explaining.

This thread was bound to end up in DC anyway. :facepalm:

Carry on...

That's up to the police. The prosecutor can sort out if the charges are warranted. Maybe they aren't. I'm talking about the school.

Yes. Zero tolerance for kids going off on their own to try to create explosions at school.

Oh yeah, and here's my view on the subject... This country is getting soft and overreacts over stupid crap.

The experiment was conducted outdoors, no property was damaged, and no one was injured.

I just thank God that she didn't try the "can a vacuum suck an egg into a bottle?" experiment. We might all have been killed.
