What's good for the goose... (Score 1)

I'm with a couple of these other posters. If a student had done this, it would have been "call the police, kick him out school, insist on psychological counseling". Teachers do this and "appropriate action will be taken". BS. Why? Just because they are teachers? Or adults? or both? Zero tolerance is stupid to begin with. It's complete BS for teachers to be permitted this type of behavior, but a kid tells a friend he wants to shoot the school bully gets interrogated like he's Osama Bin Ladin. Whether this is a good idea or not is not near the issue of the inherent unfairness in assuming a teacher is any more trustworthy than a student based on job or age...they aren't.
