Intent is what gets us situations like the Dallas DQ, the Orlando Incident, and other such issues over the years. Intent is what gets us "students cannot bring controlled substances to school" and someone get's expelled for taking an aspirin.

There's a lot of good intent in a lot of rulings. And then there's folks who apply policy without any common sense. I'm worried about the latter.
