Letter to the Editor
Zero-tolerance punishments ineffective with young kids

Sarah Goldfarb's column on the six-year-old boy suspended from school for sexual harassment was excellent ("Young 'offenders' cannot grasp severity of sexual harassment," Feb. 10). The school system, instead of being "case sensitive," has zero-tolerance rules. That way no one (teachers, administrators, system lawyers) has to think. Hoist the ironic banner.
