Zero Intelligence Policy
A 12-year-old boy is expelled, under the zero-tolerance policy, for bringing scissors to school -- to use in sewing class! I guess school officials were afraid he might wreak terrible violence on the fabric -- always a problem in my case, in the days I (rather optimistically) attempted to sew.

Why that miserable little sew-and-sew!

Zero tolerance is zero thinking. When I think of what I brought to school that was acceptable in the 70's I would be considered a domestic terrorist now days.

maybe he brought the scissors to school to slit his wrists at the IMMENSE STUPIDITY he will have to confront growing up in this world.
Or maybe he wanted to make a dress.
