"Zero tolerance"

At their worst, the kind of zero tolerance policies opposed by the American Bar Association send a chilling message to children, said Dasbach.

"These policies teach children that justice is inflexible, and doesn’t care about circumstances, or fairness, or good sense," he said. "And they teach children that they have no rights -- that they are criminals if they play innocent childhood games, say the wrong thing, or share a lemon drop candy with a friend."
