More zero tolerance.

Which I've come to believe actually means 'zero intelligence'.

".......

Last Thursday, sixth-grader Adrionna Harris saw a classmate cutting his arm at Bayside Middle School was a small razor.

Rachael Harris, Adrionna’s mother, said, “I feel she did the right thing under the circumstances. She thought he would bleed out. He was cutting himself and there is no teacher in sight. It was a 911 situation and there wasn’t time to find a teacher.”

Adrionna took the razor blade away from the boy, convincing him that he didn’t need to hurt himself.

Adrionna says she threw away the razor immediately and told school officials.

However, they took her act as violation of the school’s zero tolerance policy on weapons.

Instead of getting praise for quick-thinking, she received a 10 day suspension with a recommendation for expulsion.

Adrionna says, “I was just trying to help.”

She didn't get expelled but STILL served a week suspension.
