government incompetence doesnt even begin to cover this crap

probably some Zero Tolerance policy garbage
Zero Tolerance is equal to Zero Competence on the part of the administrators
involved, theres flat out no excuse for this beyond they dont have a fucking clue beyond doing whats immediately convenient instead of using what supposedly they were given for a brain. theres no excuse for Zero Tolerance policies in the first place, they need to be stamped down hard and permaently, and the administrators responsible for this garbage need to be fired for gross incompetence
