Next door is Fresno Unified, many times larger...allows Bulldog shirts, has "mediation" for Little Johnny and his phuked up parents whenever rules are broken. Despite a huge tax base, one of its high schools is about to lose its accreditation and another one was closed a few weeks ago because of a knife fight between student.

Zero-tolerence, when it is enforced at a school...works. Bull**** case-by-case approaches don't.

Why don't you offer proof at a school where it doesn't work...again, when it is enforced. Please name the school district as I have.
