Maureen Downey reports on the practice restorative justice becoming all the rage in public schools as politicians pin their career hopes on eliminating suspensions for a protected constituency (parents of misbehaving children). She focuses on the impact this practice has had on previous punitive actions and the explosion in behaviors that, in the past, would have resulted in what pols now consider extreme punishment of the offenders.
