Anybody who's ever had a lacrosse stick knows that those are essential tools for string repair.
If there isn't more to this story (which, it being one of those types of stories, there could be), then some of these "administrators" need to be slapped down very, very hard.
They ought to be fired and have their pensions ripped right out of their greedy little hands, and then, sued individually!
Correct. And the key word here is tools, not weapons.
We had a similar incident involving an innocent white kid at our local high school a few years back. His resulting lawsuit ended up paying for 100% of his college expenses and he recently graduated debt free. Unfortunately, the idiot administrator who thought it was a good idea to make an example of him still has a job and we the taxpayers are paying higher insurance premiums for her idiocy.
