Everyone understands what those offenses are. And the failure to comply with the zero-tolerance policy will result in a student facing expulsion. Mr. Welsh, you teach public school here in Virginia. It's totally overblown. It's beyond belief.
School is the safest place during the day.
We had two guys get off the bus recently and started a big fight in front of the principal, five feet from the principal and the cop. And if we were off on the streets, we might have gone the limit. And it's a constant thing. In my school, which is 45 percent African American and 23 percent white and the rest foreign-born, there's this image of school as a violent place. And yet, when you go in the school, it's quiet.
