Adults need to start acting like adults and let kids enjoy a little bit of what it means to be a kid. These zero tolerance policies in schools really drive me nuts. Why is it that there seems to be a total lack of common sense in the world of academia? I remember all kinds of signs and gestures at my graduation ceremony and that was decades ago. Folks can we just have the rule that if no harm is caused to another person or property maybe a stern rebuke or a disapproving look is all that is required in response to some of the things kids do?

My generation created the streak and you know I don't recall one single story of anybody getting suspended for it. Some folks had some really nice discussions with security people or a little time in the back of a police car to contemplate the errors of their ways and their decision making process, teachers could have cared less what we posted in folks yearbooks, and our neighbors were the only ones who cared about what we did away from the campus itself. Who appointed educators as life police anyway? It seems constitutional rights cease to exist in academia which may explain why they don't spend much time teaching it in schools nowadays.

Maybe these many students are exercising their rights to freedom of religion. Who are they hurting?

In a time when we have youth snorting bath salts, eating weed flavored candy, and playing choking games we're worried about kids displaying their faith? What is wrong with adults?

Jack Siegel commented on the South Cobb Patch Facebook page, "I think its a fad that will soon pass. just ignore it and it will go away."

Absolutely not... no more than teachers and administrators should face discipline for failing to pray openly. Young people should have the freedom of expression in school, as long as others aren't harmed or damaged...and if they do not have this freedom - which God gives... their parents should withdraw them from public schools, and enroll them into a more wholesome environment.

Oh good Lord. Talk about ridiculous. If young people want to follow the trait of a "Christian God fearing young man" then so be it. Its bad enough when ""\the politically correctness folk" wont let people speak their minds, we cant tell someone we dont like them or what they stand for, its bad enough when a memebr of congress makes a true statement about a group; they have to publicly appologise for exercising their constituionally guarenteed right. Now we want to stop a true freedom of expression, that in no way insults or hurts anyone else, but because some academic left wing idiot decides "Oh it might offend". Or better yet,"They did not get MY permission to do that" so lets suspress the right or expression and freedom of speech. Get real . More power to the young student and I trust he will do what is "politically correct" and sue the school for infringement of his god given, constitutionally guarenteed rights.
