More bizarre distortions in our social fabric due to Zero Tolerance:

6/10/97 MSNBC: California: a ten-year-old girl who reported a classmate
for having a joint was also suspended by the principal, under the school's

6/18/97 NBC News Channel 4 NYC: A career teacher is forced to resign because
she thought her student was kidding about having a baggie of pot. Students
and parents are stunned. The teacher said she believed her students had better

board asks her back, but she says no, she is too disgusted at her treatment.

Zero Tolerance victims, falling into the abyss.

Dragnet monitoring should not be the American way.
