You know, I'm pretty libertarian in my views about stuff like this, but I'm just gonna take a wild guess that having a society of people walking around high half the time probably isn't gonna be a great thing. I guess we'll find out.

Hopefully it is weed and not K2 or bath salts or all these other man made poisons.

Treating it the same way as alcohol seems OK to me. 3 days suspension sounds a little light though.

Great. Now it's easier to get weed than an education in CPS.

Damn Republicans. This is all Trump's fault.

It's probably Trump's fault.

They are eventually moving towards not having kids be punished for it at all. Not usually a SJW detractor but the movement to make this as well as other infractions less punitive is a product of their overreach and advocacy.

the only way to stop weed from being in schools is to put more weed in schools

I'd rather have kids smoking weed than boozing or K2 or bathsalths, whippets etc.

It's to even out the suspension/expulsion numbers by race. Oak Park is doing the same type of thing. "Solves" the problem.

And parents are going along with this? How does this get brought up and people nod in agreement like this is a good idea?

Bring back Ripple and put it in school vending machines.

Because the state is allowing the roosters to run the henhouse. About 5 years ago a Group of Students from Roosevelt High School lobbied the state for the purpose of decreasing the amount of suspensions and disciplinary actions being administered against students (particularly students of color). A law (SB100) was passed as a result. This law drastically altered the way discipline could be administered in Public Schools.

To be fair and honest the law is simply a microcosm of the whole social justice/ restorative justice movement that's been occurring over the past 15-20 years. As a result of this movement they decided that policies such as "zero tolerance" were too punitive. They also concluded that these policies adversely effected children of color.

The culmination of this movement has been a replacement of zero tolerance with policies that aren't really punitive at all. The end goal is to have a system where children will only be punished for things deemed most egregious. By that I mean things that will get them sent to jail.

The ability to discipline students has effectively been removed from the schools and placed in the hands of children and the bureaucrats themselves.

And Darkside (tells you more about him than anything) wonders why I repeatedly refer to you as being rather stupid.

The top 5 schools in the state are currently found in CPS. 7 of the top 10 are found in CPS.

It was clearly a joke.
