I think the Zero Tolerance policies are a symptom not the cause.

I just wish they'd have the guts to stand up to parents. Little plastic toy soldiers are par for the course when it comes to boys' play things. The intent is very obviously not to promote violence. If they'd have what it takes to tell other parents their kid can't wear a t-shirt with a glock on it to school, this wouldn't be a problem. I understand it can be a little trickier with policies regarding things like medication, but this hat? Seriously?
