Guest column: Freedom is under fire at government-run schools

Today some of America’s least free places are many government schools where students enjoy less free speech than prisoners since “zero tolerance” and “social justice” trump liberty. In October, a Pennsylvania school’s zero tolerance for violence policy dictated that a fifth-grader be suspended for pretending to use his pencil as a bow and arrow. The same month an 8-year-old Scottsdale, Ariz., boy was suspended for drawing a ninja, a Star Wars character and a soldier.
