Zero tolerance for the possession of snowballs!


iconYesterday, I pointed out that a school in Canada was discouraging snow ball fights. In my headline, I asked rhetorically, "Zero tolerance for possession of snowballs?" Well, according to the Seattle Times, I almost spoke too soon.

Julie Miles has two kids at A.G. Bell Elementary in Kirkland, a school with a zero tolerance for snowballs. Students there say they were told they can't even touch the snow, much less pack and hurl it.
I wonder if kids caught with snow in liquid form can be suspended for possession of paraphernalia.

It's probably based on a slippery slope argument.

I have zero-tolerance for public education.

And owners of snow-making machines could be prosecuted under the RICO Act!
