Yet another example of why zero tolerance policies are not only the products of mental midgets, but defeat the entire purpose of their existence. No gain will be made by suspending this child. It also doesn’t help that the people running the school are by-the-book drones who have never held a single job outside the shell of academia, thus denying them valuable life lessons of common sense. If I was this child’s father, I would probably have to go to the school, punch somebody out for satisfaction, and then begin the home schooling.

Insane! And leftists insist that we must all put our trust in these damned government idiots!

I guess actually asking the boy why he still had the blade from the broken pencil sharpener and then having him throw it away would have just made too much sense.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

That poor little boy. What a travesty!

Zero tolerance shows zero intelligence.

The level of idiocy shown there is sickening.

Yep, I emailed the school administrator and informed her of that.

The kid obviously had ties to Al Queda. Jeeze, always whining about the rights of criminals.

I've never understood suspension as a punishment anyway. You've been bad - so stay home, watch movies and play games. If you do it again, I might take you on a long trip.

How is this a punishment?

Why did he keep the blade anyway?

He is 10 he probably thought it looked neat or something stupid.
