zero tolerance is for regular kids- if they find someone worthy it will all be dropped. that's how life works for adults too. it doesn't matter that was chalk. they make their point with the masses and forgive people that "matter". now that the "kids", even though most are 18, are graduating they should try to figure out which category they fit in.

I agree that there is much more "junk" food that is a greater concern than sweetened milk (at least it is essentially milk minus the added flavoring/sugar).
