Phila School District forbids teachers from calling school police until AFTER someone is stabbed

3. Zero tolerance polices went too far, but

Some schools had extreme zero tolerance policies where they expelled kindergardeners for having a plastic butter knife with their lunch. That was certainly one extreme. However, let's not force the schools to make a huge movement of the pendulum to the opposite extreme.

If the school district wants to limit situations where criminal charges are filed for minor issues, OK. However, don't limit the judgement of local educators in the trenches about when they can call upon a police officer who is already working inside their school.
