I have that keychain knife, and the school administrators are idiots to think of it as a weapon. In a real fight, I'd rather face someone with that little toy in his hands than someone using his fists.
Aren’t most of our schools today?
Liberalism and common sense do not and can not coexist.
Was his crime having the knife or being an Eagle Scout?
I feel so much safer knowing this Eagle Scout’s 1-1/2” knife is not on school grounds.
What a bunch of buffoons running that school system.
ALLES IN ORDNUNG ! ! !
SIEG HEIL ! ! !
AGENDA UBER ALLES ! ! !
OK, I’ll stop channeling an educrat.
Equal-outcome is the name of the game.
In my day, any kid fortunate enough to have a pick-up, also had a gun rack with at least one gun in it and they parked right on the school parking lot.
idiocracy
Typical brain-dead, one-size-fits-all thinking that pervades our public schools. School administrators are not allowed to use their independent judgment.
This is still America right? It’s so hard to tell these days.
No, a "District board" didn't do anything. People did. Who are they? What are their names? What is their reasoning, or lack thereof? I guess a news article by a group with "Union" in their name isn't really interested in details.
Heck, the school probably considers drawing a mere picture of a knife to be grounds for expulsion.
If West Point rejects this kid because of an inch and a half pocket knife, then they are just as big a set of moonbats as the kid’s high school officials. The Eagle Scout is better off without West Point if they reject him because of something so trivial. I’m hoping they have more sense than that at The Point, but then again, look at how the Army handled the Fort Hood shooting.

Utter lunacy.
Someone needs to anonymously report the Superintendent for having a deadly weapon in his car.
Tire irons have been used in more homicides than a 1 1/2 blade knife.
They are deadly weapons and should not be allowed on school property.
Amazing. Hopefully being persecuted like this will wake this kid up politically (if he isn’t already politically awake).
2+2=5.
Zero tolerance means just that. Complete stops at stop signs. 35mph in a 35 zone...not 36 or 37. And all of the equipment on their car had best be in A+ operational order.
Just sayin'. Not that I'd impose undue restrictions on a specific segment of the population just for their beliefs, however foolish and misguided they are. I'd just strictly enforce the laws that are on the books for a certain set of people. That's all. :-)
