More Zero Tolerance-Nanny State Follies UPDATE: West Point Administrator Reacts

A kid has a pocket knife with a two inch blade for car emergencies, locked away in his car and idiotic school administrators suspend him for 20 days.

Oh yeah, he's in the National Guard, so you know, it's not like the pocket knife (in his car) is the heaviest 'weapon' he's ever dealt with. He's also an Eagle Scout who wants to go to West Point and this may very well kill that chance.

Whalen was suspended from Lansingburgh High School last month after administrators found the 11/2-inch key-chain knife in his glove compartment, an infraction of the district's zero-tolerance policy for weapons on school grounds. It was a gift from his grandfather, Robert Whalen, chief of the Hoosick Falls Police Department.

Now, Whalen is concerned the school's 20-day suspension may hurt his chances of gaining admission to West Point, a dream of his since he brought in his grandfather's medals from Vietnam for show-and-tell in first grade.

"I just want to be able to go back to school," Whalen said. "I didn't intentionally do anything wrong. I don't even consider it a weapon."

...District Superintendent George J. Goodwin said Tuesday that he thinks the punishment was "appropriate and fair." He said the district has to equally enforce its zero-tolerance policy, even for students like Whalen who don't have any past record of misbehavior.

"Sometimes young people do things they may not see as serious," Goodwin said. "We look at any possession of any type of knife as serious."

And sometimes there are serious consequences for young people when foolish adults get put into positions of authority for which they are ill suited.

Whalen sounds like the kind of kid that schools dream of having and yet thanks to an idiotic policy and small minded adults, an accomplished young man is being punished.

At some point we really need to take back the power we've given these petty apparatchiks.

A little wisdom from Mr. Whallen

"In the past 200 years, America's gotten by just fine without zero tolerance," he said. "Why do New York state schools have to have it?"

If the West Point thing doesn work out maybe the kid should be given the job of Lansingburgh Central School District Superintendent.

Just a thought.

UPDATE: West Point Director of Admissions says it's not the end of the world but it doesn't help.

On Wednesday, West Point's director of admissions told Foxnews.com that Whalen's suspension alone wouldn't be a "show-stopper" and "didn't appear to be a big issue" for the youth, though it will appear on his record as the military academy considers his moral and ethical fiber.

"My concern would be, how does this impact on his academics?" said Col. Deborah McDonald, the academy's head of admissions. "Because 20 (school) days is a long time to be suspended."

My guess would be the Eagle Scout and National Guard service will cover the "moral and ethical fiber" issue but the grades could still be a problem.

I think George J. Goodwin should be fired. I think that would be "appropriate and fair."

The only thing more absurd than something like this is the concept that "weapons free zones" are a good thing. 

I am guessing a criminal who is intent on doing harm, such as the Virginia Tech mass murderer, may not respect that law.  So weapon free zones should really be called self defense free zones.

"They originally gave me the five-day suspension, because that is all a principal can suspend a student for," Whalen said. "And from there, they had a superintendent hearing to see if the superintendent wanted to suspend me for longer.

"But the superintendent wasn't even at the hearing. It was the principal and the athletic director. The vice principal who originally suspended me wasn't even there, and neither was the superintendent." School officials decided to suspend Whalen for an extra 15 days anyway, he said.

Geez, after hearing the details on this kid, they tacked on an extra 15 days to an already ludicrous punishment.

21 Why were they going through his glove compartment in the first place?

According to TFA:

Whalen, 17, said he forgot the knife was even in his car when a school administrator confronted him in late September and asked if he had a weapon. He volunteered that he had the pocket-size blade in his car, and walked a vice principal out to his car, where he turned it over without thinking much of the incident.

He is not sure how officials knew the knife was even in his car, but thinks another student may have told a school administrator, probably as a prank.

Reminds me of a book I read as a kid where the head of an English boarding school was found to be incompetent in that position, so they put her in charge of overseeing other school heads. She wasn't any good at that either, so "some friends got her into Parliament, where she lived happily ever after."

Sounds about right. And yeah, homeschooling is awesome for things like this, but when you do screw up you have to face the principal over dinner, and you run the chance of it being brought up years later at holidays So, there's that.

What ever happened to common sense?   Are we really letting people this stupid run our schools?  This is just unbelievable.  This superintendent should be ran out of town on a rail.

There was a time when teachers and principals were allowed to use discretion and common sense in disciplinary matters, but school boards have been forced to come up with other options. Zero tolerance results from the failure of liberal education policies that forbid the expulsion of dangerous and disruptive students, because after all every child is special, and if they're being bad it's just because we haven't reached them. BS, some kids do need extra attention but some kids are just downright rotten and should be expelled. Other factors include federal funding formulas (more students = more money so don't kick them out) and some whiny-ass parents who undercut the teachers and the principals in favor of their juvenile delinquents.

As a result the baby often gets thrown out with the bathwater.

49 Matt is my godson and I have answers here:

To those who wonder how they discovered the knife in his car, this is how it unfolded.

Some student told administrators that Matt had a knife on him.

Matt was called to the office and asked if he was carrying a knife. He honestly replied he was not.

They then asked him if he owned a knife. He replied, "Of course, I'm an Eagle Scout and a soldier."

At that point, he was asked if he had a knife in his car. He said "yes," and brought them out to the car to show them that it wasn't a big deal -- it does not qualify as a weapon under NY State law.

That is how all this unfolded.

His dad and I decided about a week and a half ago that to fight this we had to take this public. This has gone far beyond what we ever expected. Matt was on Fox & Friends Tue. morning and he and his dad are scheduled to be back on FNC on Thu. night on "Hannity."

OK, I'm about to rant heavily, but I've just been dealing with spawns of Satan in my son's classroom and I am frankly sick and tired of this nonsense.

The public schools now REWARD the bad kids in the hopes that they will end their bad behavior. Meanwhile good kids get nothing or are held to a higher standard of accountability and get in trouble more for smaller infractions.

If schools take action against bad kids, they have to file reports with the district, the district has to file reports with the state, and on up to the federal government, and depending on the number of suspensions the district has, their funding can be cut. So why are they even willing to pursue this kind of thing, or is New York funding based on different things than other states?

I am furious. The kids in my son's classroom who are disruptive and violent (punching and kicking other kids) are given good behavior tickets for actually sitting in their seats. And then, at the end of the month, lo and behold the mean students get drawn for the good behavior prizes--because it's all a set-up to get them to behave. BUT THEY DON'T!

Meanwhile the well behaved kids are learning there is no reason to behave or follow the rules because if you do nobody cares. People only care if you break the rules. They are also learning that it is OK if other kids steal from them, if other kids hit and kick them regularly. That there is nothing they can do to stop this behavior because we have to treat the little troublemaking shits with kid gloves.

I've seen the future of the country in these second graders and let me tell you, if you think we're going to hell in a handbasket now, you ain't seen nothin yet.

59 I got busted like this 20 years ago.  Zero tolerance policy for having a pocket knife in high school in AL.

I got three days suspension (which hurt my grades a bit, you get 0s for tests/HWs) and I almost got expelled for a semester.  There was an option for going to the alternative school rather than expulsion, so you would not fail all your classes.

My parents hired a lawyer for like $1000 and he talked to a few people and it went away.  

They have zero tolerance policies because it appears racist if you only expel the black kids but let the white kids slide.  Problem is, they have to re-expel the bad kids the next semester.

In my case, they let the kid with the lawyer slide...

I am furious. The kids in my son's classroom who are disruptive and violent (punching and kicking other kids) are given good behavior tickets for actually sitting in their seats. 

What do you know, rewarding bad behavior doesn't work for misbehaving second graders, nor does it work for misbehaving world leaders. And yet liberals still persist in believing that THIS TIME it will work. No really, it will, if we're just nice enough to guys like Ahmadinejad.

If Seattle's not working out for you, come on down to NC, we still have relatively sane school systems although I can't say that'll last much longer now that we've turned Blue.

If, for example, states decided that ANY trace of alcohol on your breath while driving would be considered DUI, could they legally get away with it?

 

Not a lawyer, but I played on TV.  Seriously though, they are not the same thing. The courts allow States to get away with just about anything regarding traffic laws because driving on State roads is a voluntary privilege. You basically agree to give up certain rights for that privilege. Going to school is not a privilege, it is MANDATORY. The courts have consistently ruled that schools and governments do have a justified need to restrict certain rights, but they have not allowed them to trample all over the students rights in an unfettered manner.

As per an allusion in a previous post, get an example of a knife from the schools cafeteria and compare it to the key-chain knife.

Get a good lawyer, probably one from another town (no reprisals / loss of business / other risks).

Force the issue into court.

Show both items to a judge. Make sure to point out that the cafeteria knife is one-piece stainless steel, and is very much larger than the key-chain knife.

Ask the judge for damages. See if the judge has the power to suspend the entire school district administration without pay until everyone agrees that this particular issue is settled (appeals, etc).

If the judge can't, the voters can.

89 I haven't thought about the children's  short story "Pigs is Pigs" about bureaucrats gone wild  in years. 

"Railway agent Mike Flannery wants to charge the livestock rate for a shipment of two guinea pigs and refuses to accept the lower pet rate, saying "pigs is pigs." Flannery believes that the "guinea" is an indication of the pigs' national origin. He argues that they should bear the higher freight charge of 30 for livestock, rather than the lower 25 for domestic pets. In support of this, he submits that if they were "dago pigs" or "paddy pigs", there would be no question of the animals' status.

Because the customer refuses to accept delivery, Flannery is forced to feed and house what he now calls the "dago pigs" in his office, until he receives permission from his superiors to return the pigs to the company warehouse. By this time, the guinea pigs have reproduced geometrically in Flannery's station house. After returning all the descendants, Flannery resolves to charge the lower rate for any future livestock."

wiki says Robert A. Heinlein might have taken a bit of inspiration from this story

One of my buds has been through this a couple of times before with his now fully-grown kids. In once case, it's almost EXACTLY what happened here.

It pays to read local and state laws. He found out that school officials could be held personally liable if they falsely accuse a student of a crime. After an angry phone call where he cited chapter and verse, the whole thing was dropped, complete with a personal apology to the kid.

100 Because of this and other intrusions into our private lives, I've developed my zero-tolerance policy when dealing with these government/public pinheads and nosy police officers. I am polite and non-threatening; but assert my rights that I do not want to discuss my private life with them.

For example, at these so-called safety traffic stops, I present my license/registration as required; and politely refuse to discuss anything else with the officer. You are under no requirement to answer their questions about where you have been, where you are going, what have you been doing, have you been drinking, etc... They are only fishing for probable cause to arrest you. Never consent to a search of your vehicle/person. Decline to perform field sobriety tests. Do not resist if they decide to detain/search you anyway - the choice is always up to the officer - these tests mean nothing - just make it clear that you have not given permission for a search.

We have rights! Assert them and these kinds of intrusions into our private lives with stop.

Had this young man, after answering that he had no knife on his person, had politely refused to discuss his private life of whether he owned a knife and where it might be found, he mght have had a different outcome. Let them try suspending him for not answering their intrusive questions. He doesn't have to walk them to his car, open it and let them rummage around looking for stuff.

While I generally agree with the statement that Honesty is the Best Policy, it does not apply with these brain-dead zero-tolerance policies and arbitrary police traffic stops. Assert your rights or lose them.

District Superintendent George J. Goodwin should be tarred, feathered, and rode out of town on a rail.

That said, this is, in a way, helpful.  The more they do this to the future men of this country, the more rabid conservatives they make.  I'm sure this young man has learned a valuable lesson - in Leftist totalitarianism and foolishness.  Granted - he was already on our side based on those stats - but this will reinforce his hate for the Left.  I yearn for a day when every responsible adult American realizes that they should hate the Liberals with a hot hot hate, and be very suspicious of any agent of the state.  Nobody does more to bring about my dream than the Leftards themselves.

My experience with chicken-s@#$ beaurocrats is that they always cave to external or public pressure.   Lawsuits are a good way, though not the only way.

It costs this school district absolutely nothing to reduce this kids suspension to nothingness, where as it may cost them a great deal if they are sued (even if no damages are eventually awarded).

Now reversing the situation a bit, in fairness to these idiotic administrators, this one in question heard that the student in question had a knife.  It was then his responsibility to investigate. I don't think he was out of line in asking if the student had one in his car; for all he knew, the kid had a samurai sword in his backseat.  This is the post-Columbine era, after all.

The student in question should simply have taken the fifth, but he didn't.   He was foolish in taking the administrator to his car, but that doesn't justify the harsh punishment. 

Where this should have been dropped was after seeing the knife in question.  At THAT point the administrator should simply have used common sense discretion and told the student that though the knife was small, he should leave it at home from that point onwards, letting the matter drop there instead of trying to make an example of him.

Regarding the moral fibre issue: for some time, I have wondered if the school suspension part of "zero-tolerance" is something some (and only some) academics embrace, as they know for many kids such a suspension on their record knocks them out of the running for elite schools etc--and thus reduces by that number of anyone in the elites favorably disposed towards self-defense and rugged independence. In this regard, it is the same thing as the attitude towards Limbaugh--some administrators wish to deny legitimacy to the very idea of knives, guns, etc., and will use any convenient hammer.

In other words, there are those absolutely ruthless, and they are in academia and the media. They just intend to win, period, and no conservative will ever be given a fighting chance to advance in society if they can help it. And they will do it subtly, but surely, by using seemingly good laws for ill purposes.   

Because you see, they never got a chance to pay back American society for the sins of its past, so now they will insure the children pay for it.

In my kids' high school, the good kids get in trouble for being tardy, and the bad kids get let off the hook for stealing, fighting, threatening students and/or teachers, etc.  Last year a kid hit a teacher with some sort of stick or long wooden object, and I believe the school board actually voted not to expell him for the entire year.  Another kid threatened to kill a teacher who told him to quit talking and do his work. The kid got suspended for a week and the teacher took a leave of absence. 

The teachers are afraid of the bad kids (and their friends) so they get by with everything, but the good kids would probably get expelled for having a plastic butter knife.

Verbal abuse is an effective weapon. Ask Acorn, Jessie Jackson James Carvel and the cast of characters on the other side. I hope yours was a serious question rather than a lame attempt to ridicule.

Just for the record, when this type of stupid shit happened to my kids, I would be at the school calling meetings with fellow upset parents and getting in the face of teachers and administrators.

The Shop teacher assigned me the project of building a hard case for the Principle's hunting rifle. So, two days a week, for several weeks, I would march down to his office and retrieve his scoped Weatherby 30-06 and tramp through the school toward the wood shop. People didn't pay me much notice. And believe it or not, I didn't kill anyone with it. We have become a nation of hopelessly helpless pussies that need a plumber to fix a fucking commode. Pathetic.

Document all the "weapons" one can find in the administrators offices. Shut the school down with demands to apply the rules to every student and every "weapon". The "zero tolerance" rule is impossible to not break. That is its weakness. It's time to exploit that.

It feels like they have no power at all.  Even if the law is on their side, their kid still has to go to that school with those teachers.  Ultimately the teachers and administrators hold all the power.   Always wonder about the fact that when you apply to college you have to sign your right away to have the ability to see the recommendations of your teachers.  Waht happens to the kid who doesn't want to sign their right away?   Does that kid end up without recommendations?  And what do teachers say about a kid that they don't want the kid or parent to see?  Everyone goes along with the system since they don't want their kid to have o recommendations for college, they don't want to be the test case kid.  Essentially, they, the teachers and administrators hold all the cards and sometimes weild them very unfairly.  What is worse, the stuff they do, could arbitrarily ruin a kids life.

If "venting your spleen" is all you can do, THEN DO IT!

By calling out these hammerheads and making these little men uncomfortable, you provide a huge disincentive for their bad behavior and you will make them think twice about attempting to ruin another child's future because they are so embittered and hateful. Give them as much understanding as they give; which would be almost none. Make it personal. Take it to them. They are not good, nor decent, people.

They hate it. They are not used to being mocked and ridiculed or ever having to defend their moronic actions.

Call them! Call them while you are pissed, but call them because it does make a difference.

Remember, RULES FOR RADICALS BABY!

Mpt rea;;y, depends on what side of the issue you are on.  If you are one with all the powerful parents you are good to go, but, if you are ont he opposite side fo the powerful parents, they will work to get you out and since it is a private school they can make sure the administration asks you to leave.  Since most parents with kids in private school have to work very hard to keep them there to make sure they make the ivies, everyone tows the line.

School Administrator is a job for life, the can't be fired.  The union portects them and when it doesn't, since they must know all the school district dirt, that protects where the union can't.  It is a legal mafia.

158 Don't ever forget, this is the left's way of making suspension figures look less "disparate". Blacks get caught with guns (weapon) whites get caught with scout knives (weapon). End result: racial parity in suspensions.

It is no more complex than this.

@65: "If, for example, states decided that ANY trace of alcohol on your breath while driving would be considered DUI, could they legally get away with it?"

Yes, they probably could, but they'd spend so much time defending against false positives (mouthwash, sore throat spray, etc.) that it probably wouldn't be enforced much, if at all.

Zero Tolerance allows dim witted administrators to skate by the tough decisions.  Any school system should pay their teachers and principals minimum wage because zero tolerance is simply a device to make their jobs easier.

A bunch of friends and I have the idea of fucking up a "Sobriety Checkpoint".  Each of us have one beer.  Put something on the backseat and cover it with a blanket or a towel or something.  Then 30 cars in a row, with drivers who have been drinking and smell like beer, with supsicious items in their cars, all arrive in single file and begin explaining their rights not to consent to a search, do a field sobriety test, etc, to the cops.  Shut that highway down for 3 hours without breaking a single law.  I'd like to take it nationwide.

What a great idea.  How does obstruction of justice sound, or some other bogus charge.  Do this?  One of you all should be a lawyer.  Did I mention video taping the event?

Didn't anyone ever see Apt Pupil?  When the teacher/administrator takes the kid aside to punish him, the kid should quietly, but firmly, remind the teacher/administrator that no one is around observing them, and that the things the kid will say about what the teacher/administrator did/tried to do to him during that unobserved period will never *ever* go away.

Problem solved.

I have zero tolerance for this zero tolerance.

I bet the school district pays a lot of money to their Superintendent and administrators based on experience, judgement and discretion.  While at the same time, Superintendents and administrators do everything they can to a) avoid having to use their discretion b) avoid responsibility for making a decision.

So if everything can be codified into a bunch of rules that even a child can blindly follow and discretion is no longer part of decision-making, you should be able to replace highly paid education professionals with a bunch of minimum wage workers.

If I was on the school board, that policy would have never been enacted in the first place, and yes, I would vote to fire them.

179 Most Air Jordans want to have a Cheap Jordans in "The Matrix" when Jordan shoes are 30 years old, but most of Nike Jordans want to Buy Jordan shoes or modified cars to cause the attention of Women jordan shoes. However, most of the boys want to trample on the kid Jordan shoes like a wind in front of the girls in the next class when Air Jordan retro are from 18 to 20. Do we just need a Jordan shoes on sale with four wheels? No! We need to have a New air jordan shoes. And if you are not a professional skateboard player, but want to play cool, then you have to be like me, concerned about the Air retro jordan.
Jordans for cheap is now mainly concentrated on NIKE DUNK SB and NIKE TENNIS SB. DUNK SB as the Women jordans, it has the classic DUNK strain, but New Jordan shoes transform it into a SB, joined the cool technology, mainly thickening of the kid Air Jordans and add a ZOOM AIR. Because Nike retro jordan shoes is so far used the foot of the movement (if you can not use Women air jordans to face flap, how handsome you are supposed to show ah?). So after thickened tongue its easy to wear. In addition, the increased protection performance to the ankle. Added ZOOM AIR is mainly taking the X movement into account with its landing force, thus all of the Discount jordan shoes are better Jordans for sale.

180 "He said the district has to equally enforce its zero-tolerance policy, even for students like Whalen who don't have any past record of misbehavior."
=============================

I believe the reasoning for the zero-tolerance policy is so that school administrators aren't charged with "raaaaacism!"  when they confiscate weapons from young black thugs.   The last thing the school board wants is Jesse Jackson and Al Shartpton on the front doorstep, national press in tow, claiming that poor Marcellus only used his 10" switchblade to hold down his paperwork in the breezy classroom; so obviously the REAL reason teachers didn't want the kid and his knife in class was because they were stereotyping a black kid as being a thug or something....

I know -- I'm commenting after nike shoes, so the thread is dead -- but how about this:

The parents go to a Board of Education meeting and agree that Zero Tolerance is a good idea -- so good that it should be applied to everyone. Then they propose that a Zero Tolerance policy be instituted for teachers. Any teacher of any age who has any type of sexual contact with any student in any grade gets fired and loses all tenure and benefits.

Then see who objects, and ask them to spell their names for the local newspaper's reporter.
