In my HS speech class, I demonstrated loading a cap and ball revolver.

Idiocy. Hopefully the Republicans will put an end to this nonsense in the public schools.

Black students are truly violent, which isn’t fair,so we have to even it out by trumping things up on white students and pretending they are just as violent as black students.

OMG! A knife!
Practically every kid in my school had a trusty Barlow or Boy Scout Knife. It’s a wonder I lived through it!

So, does that mean schools with culinary classes can't use knives? I think I saw that trick on Cutthroat Kitchen. It wasn't pretty.
The idiocy of the zero tolerance crowd is astounding.
To: grundle
I’ll say it again - you’ll never meet people more bureaucratic, narrow-minded and reactionary than “academics.”

Pens and pencils can be used as a weapon. She's right. A freshly sharpened [high quality] wooden pencil makes an outstanding and highly lethal weapon.

Zero tolerance is about taking away decision making and eliminating common sense and getting teachers used to deferring to a central authority.

His name is Da’von and his mother’s name is Shakila.
The odds of him being white are quite low.

Actually, D'avon Shaw IS black. I guess the message is that you can ONLY bring weapons to class is you plan to be violent with them.

I know a friend whose honor roll student daughter was suspended from school for bringing a cake her mother baked to school to share with her teacher and classmates. Bringing the cake had previously been approved by the teacher for an end of the year party in the class.
Along with the cake she brought paper plates, plastic forks and a KNIFE to cut the cake.
She was immediately suspended by the principal and missed important class time during the week before her final exams.
Parents complained. No explanation, no common sense just another failure of our public schools.

Maybe he should have uncoiled a couple feet of dental floss or small gauge wire and used that to slice the apple. Obviously those things couldn’t be used as a weapon /s

Every kid I knew in school had a pocket knife. In high school we had shootguns in the trunks of our cars to go straight for a grain field for dove hunting. We even had a school rifle club. And nobody got hurt, nobody pulled weapons on anybody. When are these stupid rules going to stop. Good kids getting caught up in these stupid rules!
