Has anyone been able to find the actual list of shooting that are referenced by the graph from the underlying source?
Because the graphs don't match up with the Wikipedia list of US school shootings by a wide margin. Maybe they use a different data source for there list but it seems odd.
>James Alan Fox and Emma E. Fridel, “The Three R’s of School Shootings: Risk, Readiness, and Response,” in H. Shapiro, ed., The Wiley Handbook on Violence in Education: Forms, Factors, and Preventions, New York: Wiley/Blackwell Publishers, June 2018.
The only reference to the "Three R's of School Shootings..." book seems to be in this article and others like it. I would assume it hasn't been published yet, but who knows.
James Fox is a professor at Northeastern and seems to have published many works on mass killing, but I can't find this title anywhere for him.
Anna Fridel is a doctoral candidate at NE and only has one published work.
The second source, "The Wiley Handbook.." does seem to exist and it is by another NE professor Harvey Shapiro who I can't find much on him other than a recent arrest, but the book exists and just hasn't been published yet.

Amazon isn't even published yet.
I would assume some of this data was sourced from the School-Associated Violent Death Study by the CDC, but again their data doesn't really line up with that either.
So bottom line is I wouldn't trust the article or its assertions until we can see the underlying data.
The left rarely advocates for zero tolerance policy. It's old and archived, but the Geek Feminism Wiki lists Zero Tolerance as a red flag, preferring instead "A scale of consequences that takes into account multiple factors, but which includes the possibility of complete and permanent exclusion when that is the consequence that is called for." Guidelines on how to write a Code of Conduct for a con will rarely mention "zero tolerance" at all. Papers have been written on how zero tolerance disproportionately affects minorities, with the case in front of us being an example. There are books exploring zero tolerance policies, and while I haven't read that one myself, the summary doesn't put such policies in a good light, and ends with a recommendation for a three chance system.
There is no one in this thread arguing that this policy is a good idea. This is entirely a misapplication of what leftists actually argue. Zero tolerance policies are a lazy excuse for avoiding nuance, pushed largely by school administrators who are using their brains less than the students they're supposed to be teaching.
