"He had an exposed blade which created a dangerous setting for the student and other children."

Hells bells! Better take those pencils away too, someone could put an eye out with one. Or kill someone. Crayons only from now on.

Idiots.

They should fire all the liberals at the school as well, there is nothing that creates a dangerous setting more then liberals. Maybe hire someone who uses their brain, instead of their butt to sit on and collect a paycheck.

ZERO TOLERANCE = ZERO THOUGHT

District spokesman Randy Wall said school administrators are stuck in the precarious position between the district's zero tolerance policy against having weapons at school and common sense.

"We're always going to do something to make sure the child understands the seriousness of having something that could potentially harm another student, but we're going to be reasonable," he said.

When you have already been completely assinine and unreasonable it's kind of hard to imagine how it is that they could become reasonable.

Bottom line... this kid now has a police record over NOTHING. He has been emotionally traumatized and I'd wager could develop a real fear of authority, which in retrospect is probably exactly what they want.

Do these bozos think they are running a supermax prison or an elementary school. Jeeeesus bleeping Christ already.

You just don't get it: the beatings WILL continue until morale improves.
