I think it neglects the fact that the "rule" is not enforced consistently 
and that the school itself violates it for its own convenience. Rules are 
not just for the ruled...they are for the rulers as well. That is what a 
free society is all about. When government officials are unwilling to obey 
their own regulations when they can be applied to them, as is happening in 
this case, they jeopardize their own credibility and their own legitimacy.

You want a "zero tolerance" policy? Fine. The mascot's weapons have to go 
first.
