FOXNews.com - Views - ifeminists - Zero Patience for Zero Tolerance: "News shows recently showed video of 14 police officers charging a crowded high-school corridor with guns drawn in a drug sweep. Students at Stratford Creek High School in Goose Creek, S.C., were forced onto their knees or against walls, while dogs sniffed their backpacks for drugs.

None were found. Although the incident was extreme, it was not an aberration but the logical consequences of 'zero tolerance' policies, defended by both the school and the police. Zero tolerance must be abandoned, especially in connection with children. "

These kids will live their whole lives and think 'the drill' is normal.

'On your knees. Spead 'em'.

'O.k. I know the drill."
