Reason 873 to HomeSchool: Your First Grader Won’t Be Expelled for Using a Cub Scout Fork
Zero tolerance policies are created by liberals that are too afraid to use common sense to make a distinction between common sense things- because they are afraid of all judgments. All races, sexes, cultures, religions- they are all the same; can’t judge anyone or anything; don’t use your brain to make distinctions, because for some reason that would be wrong. The same goes for weapons. There is no difference between a plastic picnic knife and an AK-47 assault weapon. Neither can be on school grounds, and the penalties are stupidly the same.
Zachary, who is six, got a cubscout knife, fork, spoon, and can opener when he started scouting and he wanted to eat his lunch with it. When the teacher saw it, she confiscated it and the principal expelled him, and if he wants to come back, he has to go to reform school first. ‘Cause the rules the rules. Teachers and principals are too retarded and poorly educated to exercise a single shred of common sense on their own, which is why you should never trust one of them to be in charge of your child.

UPDATE: They gave the boy a break. Only a 3-day suspension.
I am reminded of the Vice-Principal at Wendler Junior High. Back in the early 70s, switchblades and stilletos were all the rage.
If ya got caught carrying one, he would place it in the hinge side of a big door and crush the hell out of it.
That was it. Things have damn sure changed eh?
The children must learn not to question authority at an early age. No matter how wrong, The Authority is always right. Always.
