Young Latina's arrest for doodling raises concerns about zero tolerance

Girl's arrest for doodling raises concerns about school's zero tolerance policy. Clearly, the school officials over reacted to this young girl's behavior. Her crime was just the words, ["I love my friends Abby and Faith. Lex was here 2/1/10 :)"] written on the classroom desk with a green marker. For her doodling her love for her friends, Lex was handcuffed, arrested and transported to the police precinct. The principal of the Junior High School in Forest Hills, New York, was the dunce that called the police.

HELLO, school officials PLEASE use sound judgement before acting reckless with our children!
