Glenn Harlan Reynolds has an excellent USA Today column on education fanatics. No, not people who are fanatical about education itself, but instead the apparatchiks who are fanatical about even the most harmless and innocent violation of the zero tolerance policy for guns. Our “public education” system is a magnet for authoritarians who like to exercise power over others, especially children. As long as it’s done in the name of some politically correct cause, they’ll get away with it.
