I can't even express my disgust with these people any more, the number of people needing to get their a$$ kicked has ballooned to deficit numbers lately...

Sounds like he's being punished for having ever touched a knife in his life.

Really encourages the next one to turn themselves in voluntarily, doesn't it?

Thank God for the Catholic school and private school systems.

"expelled for carrying a pocket knife, even though the boy said he had forgotten the weapon was in his coat pocket and turned it over to school officials " It goes from knife to weapon for no reason, anything is a weapon only if it is used as such!

The only one who should be expelled is the principal.

I'd like to hear the whole story before forming a strong opinion. Too many times a paper prints a lop-sided view designed to create a strong reaction, but not necessarily the truth. I just don't trust any story after hearing one sids.
Some questions I have at first glance--Is this story being reported from the boy and his family or the police or school? Is the paper reporting all the details or just the family's version? Is this the first time this student has brought in a knife? Does he have a history of violence and fights?
On the surface it does indeed look like an over-reaction from the school. If so, I hope the boy and his family get an apology and compenation for whatever damages have been caused.

Sounds like he's being punished for having ever touched a knife in his life. Bet your Bippy he is. The suspension was probably required by the Zero Tolerance rules, but the expulsion was not.
The inmates are definitely in charge of that particular asylum.

2 ways of dealing with idiots like this.
Ass kicking
Hanging
Personally I prefer both. One right after the other.

That just shows how pathetic some educators are. It's definitely not the way to build character in our young people. You don't punish someone for being honest.

This reminds me of a funny, self-deprecating story told by my high-school principal. He said, "When I started in education as a teacher, I was given a bag of marbles. Everytime I made a mistake, they took one of them away. When I lost all my marbles, they made me principal!"

The purpose of zero-tolerance is to increase the expulsion rate of non-minorities.
You have to manufacture "equal outcome" somehow.

Stupid... When did a Swiss Army knife suddenly become a "weapon"?
