Jesse Jackson's wrong target

Article Abstract:

There are serious questions that should be asked about the impact of zero tolerance policies, but the involvement of Jesse Jackson in a case in Decatur, Illinois, does not help to further the debate. The incident involved the expulsion of six black youths who had disrupted a football match. Zero tolerance has led to a drop in crime rates and helps children to learn in school by providing a secure environment. There are problems with using inflexible rules, and children expelled from school may be moire likely to become criminals.
