Hi how do I get a copy of the 27 minute video? I'd like to use it for a school leadership collaboration on July 26, 2011. I look forward to your response.

acually there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a knife to school. The only reason zero tolorance is used is as a precaution to things that people could do with that knife. So when the lady was talking about the kids understanding why doing things against the zero tolorance policy is wrong it kinda pisses me off, because zero tolorance is a precaution, therefor not directly related to moral offensses
