    Anyone who complies with an unjust law is collaborating with the evil swine who passed it.

      Fair point, and certainly why I received down votes.

      The catch is, and the way these initiatives take hold, is that telling your “manager” at the school, or placing a potential offender in a car for a brief period, doesn’t “seem that bad” under the context of school violence.

      There are soooo many blatant disregard for the rules of humanity that are much easier to point at and say “This is wrong.”

      Not condoning the behavior, I just think those making the policies like this one should have been listening to their people, and probably weren’t (surprise, surprise) because they thought this was a “minor” point they could let slide. The news has told them otherwise.

      And there’s a phrase that flows right from this, and is commonly applied to cops. 🤔
