This is a typical asinine story that happens because of this new
"ZERO TOLERANCE" policy that most officials take. The people weren't taking the toy because they thought it would hurt someone. They took it because they could lose their jobs or be subject to disciplinary action if they didn't! It's
"ZERO TOLERANCE". It's the kind of attitude adopted when one doesn't want to be held responsible for making an on the spot judgment call. Heavens to betsy! Someone might be offended, and we might be sued! In my day, if a child got caught with a cap gun in school, the teacher confiscated it untill the end of the day and MIGHT contact your parents. NOW the children are led away in handcuffs! All these neutered, wobbly-kneed, pissant, beaurocrats crying like scared toddlers for fear of political correctness! It makes me sick!
