OCALA, Fla. -- A 10-year old Ocala girl brought her lunch to school and a small kitchen knife to cut it. She now faces a felony charge after being arrested. The school and the sheriff's office disagree on the reason for the arrest.
School officials say the 5th grader was brown-bagging it. She brought a piece of steak for her lunch, but she also brought a steak knife. That's when deputies were called.
It happened in the cafeteria at Sunrise Elementary School. The 10-year-old used the knife to cut the meat.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
This scripture comes to mind:
Matt 10:28
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
This little girl need not be feared (even if she brought the knife with evil intent, which I’m sure she did not), but we should fear the teachings of the liberal. The liberal’s father is the lord of this world. Following such teachings leads to a life of darkness and death. I offer the Clinton’s as proof...

"That's not a knife...."
And God help the person if it’s an automatic battery-powered knife.

1. (Not to sound like a turd, but) I don’t want children.
2. If I do have children, they’ll be home schooled.
3. If they’re public schooled, it will be a different system.
Jeeves, please inform our esteemed guest that he will find the Polaner's All-Fruit right there next to the Grey Poupon.
“On the other hand, a steak knife is not a butter knife and could easily inflict serious damage if used as a weapon.”

See what I posted here the other day about this garbage.

“Thus what happens when Teachers are not allowed to use common sense.”
It is stupidity on parade.
At the very most they could take the knife and tell the kid to pick it up when she leaves to go home.
We have to remember, pubic (sic) school teachers are socialist NEA clones.
I would NEVER, EVER send a child to a public school..ANYWHERE in the US.
“Food, Glorious Food”! Just rented “Oliver!” from Netflix a couple weeks ago!
OMG!! You have fallen into PC Chickificationland!!
“What happened to PB&J for kids sack lunch.”
PB&J has long since banned in most schools because of the ONE kid allergic to peanuts.
sigh.
The policies and procedures of modern education are teaching a generation of children absolute contempt for government authority.
Zero tolerance is nothing more than pre-conditioning for a huge central government that runs everything, just like the old USSR.
So could a pen, pencil, ruler, compass, chair, shoe, belt, umbrella, baseball bat, yo-yo, door key, cafeteria tray...
And all the boys carried pocket knives, even at school.
Fascist oppression is what happens when liberals get into power.
