Zero Tolerance = Zero Intelligence
clipped from www.examiner.com


A Staten Island fourth grader was nearly suspended for taking a machine gun to school. A two-inch plastic replica belonging to a LEGO policeman.


Nine year-old Patrick Timoney was playing with the LEGO toys with his friends in the school's lunchroom when the principal saw the toy gun and took him to her office to begin the suspension process. After calling the child's parents (his father is a retired police officer which is why Patrick liked the toy), common sense eventually prevailed over zero tolerance and little Patrick was set free. The gun was confiscated, presumably to be destroyed in a blast furnace.

Teacher and Student Had Sex in School?



According to the Bullitt County Sheriff's Department, a Shepherdsville teacher has been arrested for "inappropriate sexual contact", by his own admission, with one of his female students on school property.

Timothy Lands, former Bullitt Central High School “teacher of the year”, is charged with first-degree sexual abuse, a felony, and is being held in the Bullitt County jail. A conviction for sexual abuse in the first-degree carries a five to ten year prison sentence.

Reportedly the sexual activity between Lands and his student - said to include oral sex and masturbation - actually took place on school grounds. Although sixteen is the age of consent in Kentucky, there is a specific law against sexual conduct between a teacher and a student.

Parents: SJUSD Warned About Teacher
