Some one should call the police on the school officials for having weapons, tire irons and gasoline, in their cars.
“LHS Principal - Doctoral Graduate
Congratulations to Angelina Bergin, principal of Lansingburgh High School, on being awarded a Doctorate in Education degree from Sage Graduate School. Best wishes Dr. Bergin.”
LOL. Now she should go for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Seriously, the whole crew should learn what it’s like to get hit with a huge civil suit. Defamation, damages, violation of Civil Rights, whatever might stick. They should have at least as many sleepless nights as the Scout’s family!
Nice little tool that one. A bit pricey for Clan Lurker right now so I've had to make do with a Fiskars hatchet. I got that as part of a 'buy the ax, get the hatchet' deal a couple years back. Glad I took advantage of it. I could shave with that sucker.
I tossed that little CZ and a few spare mags into mine, too.
"Be Prepared" ain't just a motto.

I know a guy super well, :-), I mean we are as close to identical as you can get. Any way this guy drove his kids to school for years with a work knife in his glove box and a machete, crow bar and baseball bat in the trunk.
..... My sincere sympathies go out to your godson. This is an absolute outrage IMO. I recommend that your family organize to fight this on every public front. Rally your family and friends to write to City Hall and the local newspaper, radio, and TV outlets. Approach your son’s friends to do likewise. Organize public protests in front of City Hall. Put the spotlight on these “school administrators”; they will cringe.
Do you know exactly why your godson was singled out for interrogation? Who inside the school administration initiated the process? Based upon the article’s glowing description of his background, he seems a strange individual indeed to have attract such attention from the school. I have a suspicion that this was NOT an accident and that your godsaon was singled out purposely - perhaps because he has openly declared his intention to pursue a career in military service after high school. I would in fact suggest that you publicly and loudly make public just that accusation (in carefully chosen words). It will at the very least put these scum on the defensive and will pry them out of their standard “no comment, we don’t discuss internal student matters” position.
Publik Indoctrination Centers. It is far more important to search the locked cars of students than it is to teach them how to read, write, count or vote against tyranny. On the other hand perhaps, they are teaching them to vote against tyranny.
Meetings
Regular board meetings are held the last Tuesday of the month in Library Media Center. Board of Education Meetings are open to the public.
The remaining meeting dates for the 2009-2010 school year are:

Separately, I'd sue the heck out of them. These "educators" are wielding a deadly weapon called ignorance.
“And if Matthew never showed his knife to others, why was he singled out for this kind of search anyway?”
Probably ratted out by another kid who knew the knife was there.
We must manufacture more white criminals in the name of diversity.
Actually a number 2 lead or a 0.7mm Pentel P207 pencil makes a very fine weapon to kill and not just write with.
Will they next ban writing instruments ... Excuse me, I forgot, they don’t teach penmanship any more.
Might I also recommend that you post the phone numbers, e-mail addresses and mailing address of the school? Perhaps outraged citizens from across the country could let this school know what we think about their use of taxpayer dollars.
Couldn't a sharpened pencil or a BIC pen be used as a weapon?
I know getting into West Point is top priority for Mathew ande the family, but going on offense and hiring a lawyer and heading this thing off right away should be his strategy. What damage of getting into West Point has already begun. Waiting for mercy at the hands of these Schoolboard manics, will prove disastrous. Mathew is experiencing his actual first hand to hand combat with these bunch of paper pushing anti-American commie loving elected politicians and Mathew comes from a long line of fighters and must think of his goal of defending the constitution and not whether it will interferes with exceptance to West Point. I wish him well and God Bless.
Who ever snitched was a little liberal....a military hater...this isnt a prank...
A sharpened pencil to the eye, a bic pen up the nose, a geometry compass into the temple... a peanut butter sandwich shoved down the throat... um... let’s see....
The unasked question here is why did school officials "approach" him in the first place? This smells like a set-up.
My science teacher brought a Garand to Jr. High in California in the early 1970s. Of course he took the firing pin out, and a few of us were sharp enough to notice. We had hunter safety classes at lunch.

in 5th grade, Armin Harnedy brought in his father’s M-1 rifle to school for show and tell. The principal insisted he bring it to the office first so the principal could remove the firing pin, then Armin was allowed to bring it in class. Safety first.
My Junior High used to be the high school when it was first built in the 50’s. It has a rifle range in it’s basement.
good idea!
