Well how about aspirin or Midol? I started getting form letters for this stuff about 10 yrs ago. Insanity. What I would do, is dose the kid right before they left for school, then dose them the minute they got home.
These bureaucrats are just trying to "feed the machine".
They could do that. They could arrest everyone that comes within the dead zone of a school, which is nearly everyone nearly every day. They would even have to arrest themselves. Once all 300 million of us are under arrest, then we would be China, born to be serfs.
Hitler used butter knives...
Lesson of the Day? Never bring a butter knife to a political correctness fight.
A thermometer is a deadly weapon because it contains mercury. They recently evacuated a school in Georgia because someone dropped a thermometer. Several students were taken to a decontamination lab because they had been in the same room as the thermometer.
Do they still use the old compasses that have a sharp point for the center of the circle?
When I worked at Juvenile Detention, shoes with laces and belts were forbidden.
Are they allowed to use tools in shop class?
A butterknife ain't a weapon.
Next thing you know they will arrest someone for bringing a glue gun to school.

Hehe...

Perhaps a new school board would help.
These people are so behind the times - these days a butter knife is called a "shiv".
So when do the politically correct police start checking fingers?
is a folder a weapon?
intolerable intolerance ping
I have a certain finger to show them. oo0oo
Don't give 'em any ideas.
I've also heard of a child being suspended for drawing a picture of a gun at school.
I wonder if someone would be suspended for writing the words knife or gun on anything at school. What's the difference between words, illustrations and photos of potential weapons in a zero-tolerance environment?
A bat could be used as a weapon. Should baseball be banned at school? Barbells could be used to "whack" someone. They shouldn't allow the football players to have weight rooms.
Wait. I read a HS soccer goalie was killed a week ago from a ball hitting him in the throat. Ban soccer. Never know who can kick accurately.
A pencil or pen could be used as a weapon. Shouldn't students ONLY be allowed to write with soft pastel crayons or chalk? All cafeteria utensils should be replaced with soft plastic ones. I could go on ALL DAY with this. I wish I was on a zero tolerance committee who makes the rules. I'd make their heads SPIN!
These folks have LOST THEIR FRIGGING MINDS!!!! What a bunch of MAROONS!!!
