Students at the University of Colorado are learning the hard way that the "zero tolerance" fascism that has enveloped America's schools has now graduated to the collegiate level.
Students had planned on conducting a "humans versus zombies" game using toy Nerf guns that shoot harmless foam darts. But campus police have ordered them to cancel it, because the university's "zero tolerance" policy applies to look-alike guns.
Does that Nerf gun in the photo look like a real gun to you?
No matter, because campus cops feared they could be painted to look like real guns. Um, except that they weren't.
Maybe the school is just afraid that the Nerf players will beat their football team.
Is it a police state yet?
