Too bad the kid wasn't a "special needs" student with a "behavior disability". In that case he could have gotten by with bringing a bomb to school and threatening other students. School officials in that case would be powerless to do anything because of his "handicap".

When I lived in Des Moines, a 6th grader brought 3 actual pipe bombs to school and caused the building to be evacuated while the bomb squad removed the bombs. The school Board spent a week of collective hand wringing debating wheteher they could expell the kid because he had been in a "special needs" program for his behavioral disability.

So....did they expel him or not?
