Summary: Cenk shares the story of a fourth grader who was nearly suspended over a LEGO. At the end of the video there is a direct link to a review of the documentary 'War On Kids' which talks about the over prescribing of drugs, zero tolerance policies and much more about modern schools.

Bonus Video: Fire Departments Billing Homeowners to Put Out Fires!

PS---Check out (and subscribe to) our new channel, TYT Interviews. As the name suggests, it's all great interviews with members of Congress, Media Matters reps, notable media figures, authors, journalists, reporters, conservatives (yes, conservatives) and much more.

As tolerance approaches zero, stupid approaches infinity.

3. I'm the parent of the biggest lego fan in the world.
His little lego guys are armed to the teeth with light sabers, knives, ray guns, swords, axes, and pistols. Come to think of it, lego guys are like Republicans in that way.

I'd better search his backpack and pockets for tiny weapons and avoid a school lockdown.

4. First they came for my guns, then my toy guns, then my toy's toy gun, then my pictures of guns,
then my gun thought bubble, then my dictionary entry for guns, then bodybuilder's arms...

5. K&R I have first hand experience with that stupid policy.
I am so glad that I took my son out of the system in the grade school years. This is his last year in high school. I can't wait and neither can he.
