"you're not fit to talk about him. yeah, i understand that everything's different now. we used to be a free country. now we're not." [7] "marcus, do you know what 'zero-tolerance' means? " [8] i backed down. he could expel me for "threatening behavior." it was supposed to be used against kids who tried to intimidate their teachers. but of course he wouldn't have any compunction about using it on me.
