Anything...BUT...

A teacher tells his students that they can write about anything they are interested in. When the assignments are handed in, he tells two students he gave them a zero because they wrote about guns . Now I feel that anything is about anything!

Now many may say that the teacher was right and had a point with the recent events of gun violence. Some may even use the Zero Tolerance policy that exists in most schools. Thing is that the teacher said anything and didn't impose limitations. I'm surprised there weren't topics that would make guns seem rather tame in comparison.

Moral of the story: Anything means anything. Outline limitations if you can't accept what might come out!
