Zero tolerance means zero thought, zero reason, zero understanding and zero compassion. Why anybody who subscribes to such values would be let anywhere near a school? I'd ban anybody who institutes a "zero tolerance" policy - instead of exercising one's own adult judgement on a case by case basis - from ever working in education. And of course any such policy should be immediate ground for termination of administrator instituting it - as they're essentially turning themselves into non-thinking robots. Who needs non-thinking robots in charge of schools?

Somebody does, apparently. At least that's the feeling I get when I see the proliferation of this kind of idiotic policy showing no sign of slowing down. The non-thinking robots in positions of authority and instruction are more likely to churn out non-thinking robots as a result. That may very well be the goal.
