Hi dpa5923-

Two photographs of the actual TweetyBird wallet, chain, and keyring were pinged to you above, complete with "Ashley" inscriptions in black marker. Are you inclined to identify any or all of these three items as weapons?

See # 268.

Honestly, they come out of the woodwork every time, don't they?

No, I am not ready to call these weapons, but the facts are not what SerpentDove claimed they were. He or she intentionally implied that a small child brought a small key chain to school and was suspended for it in an attempt to bolster his or her claims that public school officials are incompetent.

The sixth grader brought a ten inch chain to school. Depending on the manner in which it was use, it could be a weapon and I agree the school should ban 10 inch chains.

Was it a weapon? Not in of itself.

Could it be used as a weapon? Sure.

Was a 10 day suspension warranted? Arguable.

Are the facts even close to what SerpentDove presented? No.
