Taranto has this almost unbelievable zero tolerance horror story in today's Best of the Web:

Raylee Montgomery, a ninth-grader at Duncanville High School, near Dallas, was hit with a suspension "after an administrator noticed the 13-year-old girl's shirt had become untucked," the Associated Press reports. "The girl said she apologized, tucked in her shirt and asked if she could continue to class but was not allowed." Duncanville's "zero-tolerance dress code" has "led to 700 student suspensions since August," the AP notes.

So much for teaching kids to be tolerant and reasonable. And they wonder why so many parents prefer vouchers or home schooling to government schools.
