A policy that was put into use by United States schools and other establishments soon after the Columbine tragedy.
In practice, zero tolerance policies allow for no weapons or dangerous objects in school.
However, the noun "weapon" can mean "an object that can be used to cause harm"; the phrase "dangerous objects" is a plural of the same meaning; therefore, almost any object can be considered a weapon.
Because of this, overzealous officials often unleash horrificaly exaggerated sentences for the silliest of things.

Get the tollway mug.John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Acclaimed British author and philologist. Born 1892, died 1973, aged 81. As well as holding the position of Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University twice, Tolkien authored what many consider to be the greatest book of the 20th Century, 'The Lord of the Rings'. His next most famous work is 'The Hobbit' and he also published various other poems and short stories. 'The Silmarillion' was published posthumously (based on previously unpublished work) by Tolkien's third son Christopher, along with 'The Letters Of J.R.R. Tolkien' and various other books dealing with Tolkien's mythology.

Get the J.R.R. Tolkien mug.The most gorgeous and perfect girl to walk the Earth. She is super funny, and did I mention beautiful? Everyone loves a Tolani! Boys can't resist her and she has the most amazing body ever! There is no comparing yourself to Tolani. Although her name means "lady", it doesn't mean she's that innocent, goody-two-shoes girl that obeys all the rules, she's her own person. She'll do whatever she wants when she wants and the people around her won't want to stop her. she also gets her self into lots of trouble by following the crowed but doesn't really learn from her mistakes.
