This editorial that I read was about schools all over the country rethinking this concept of "zero tolerance" where students are suspended, expelled, and even arrested for minor offenses such as cursing. I think that this is really relevant because this is actually happening in the country and it is relevant to me because I am still in high school.
The purpose of this article was to really harp on the fact that these harsh punishments bring no good and do not help change the aura of the school, but rather they cause delayed education for the offenders and also they cause them to have a permanent or juvenile record which hurts them in their future when they are trying to be successful.
This was written by the editors of the New York Times and they are very credible because the NYTimes editorial board is constructed of a wide variety of journalists.
I think that this editorial does use a nice variety of rhetorics such as unarguable data with providing facts of policies that congress has made about these laws in school. They provide a good cause and effect of what happens if these kids are suspended and expelled. They provide a research study which really shows the affect that these charges have on a student and it shows that they do not bring anything pleasant.
I really liked this editorial because it really got to the point and provided examples and had a lot of cause and effect reasoning which really helps you see the problem and what should be done about it.
