Scissors are a weapon. Mechanical pencils (and regular ones), baseball bats, any kind of glass, forks and knives from the cafeteria, and the list goes on.

That's a thought: instead of suing them to stop, sue them to extend the list to all potential weapons, and then to all things that look like them. Then look terribly pious and claim it's for the children.

That’s exactly what should be done. And then when other people protest, point out (again) that it’s ‘for the children’ and if they don’t want the lawsuit to continue, perhaps the school board should reconsider their decision.

Yes. good idea. And a pencil is a weapon.

Bingo!

Given time enough and will, you can kill someone with a Post-it note.
