There is no question on this one. Common sense say you don’t bring a knife to school. What idiot would bring a knife to school. I’m floored at the reactions on here.


Exactly what date did this all change?

Back in the 60’s as a Cub Scout and Boy Scout, we wore our uniforms to school on weekly meeting days because we went directly to the meetings right after school.

My uniform had a sheath knife, a pocket knife hanging from a clip, and a hatchet with a covered head on my belt. This was the standard uniform.

Probably half the vehicles in the parking lot had shotguns or rifles in them because we went hunting after school.

And probably 99% of the boys carried pocket knives every day.

But nobody ever got shot or stabbed.

I know this was pretty much the same in the 70’s and 80’s.

So when did this all change?

As a girl I carried a pocket knife. I was a whiz at the various games that we **safely** played with them.
