Matthew is my godson (hence why I included Virginia as a Topic here) and this is INSANE what they are doing to him!!!

[RKV]

Me and my friends used to carry a pocket knife with us to school every day. Helped out in Ag classes and in shop too. This is insanity. I hope your godson gets through this.

[TYVets]

Correction:

School officials are insane

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Sad. I hope Matthew now understands the use of the word, “No.” when an authority asks to search his car.

Followed by, “Get a warrant. I’ll wait.”

[Frantzie]

This is insane. What a joke.

[Dr. Sivana]

It’s kind of late now, but ditch the public school. Whatever it takes.

[sand lake bar]

Insane. Yes, that was my first thought as well. The people who would do this to a young man are simply Stalinistic.

[Banjoguy]

I'm speechless. What is wrong with these people? ...seems they don't have an ounce of common sense. IMO they don't have enough to do so they justify themselves by making mountains out of mole hills.

In this case it could be simply that he was a boy scout.

[WVNan]

Perhaps the school district needs to hear how America feels about this.

[wastedyears]

So many school officials should not be school officials.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest them.

[Glacier Honey]

Unbelievable,

It's not like he had a railroad-tie in his car/p>

[AnalogReigns]

Don’t be offended, but to me this is just another example of why the public schools must be abandoned by all thinking people.

[ClearCase_guy]

1) Buy 50 cheap knives
2) Wait for a hot day
3) Go to the parking lot and find cars with any windows cracked open to prevent heat buildup
4) Insert knife, letting it fall into plain sight inside the car
5) Notify police that a large number of students and administrators are in violation
6) Repeat as necessary

[jagusafr]

Inexcusable. Zero-tolerance started out as a “good idea”, and the unintended consequences have been atrocious. Tell him this will probably actually help him get into Hudson High - they like the “be prepared” types! And tell him there’s one reserve Colonel proud of his preparedness and his attitude.

Colonel, USAFR

[Leg Olam]

This makes me VERY angry. I hope they sue the socks off that damn district.

[Lurker]

You should have taught your Grandson to never, ever, EVER, under ANY circumstances give ANYONE permission to search his vehicle, his person, or anything else that belongs to him.

Ever.

Period.

[skeeter]

He is everything that a liberal despises - honorable, accomplished and hard working.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

These people voted for Obama.

They’re the same kind of idiots that see a Swiss Army knife as a weapon yet will overlook the fact that kids in their school are doing heroin, getting high at lunch, popping pills and spreading VD like prostitutes welcoming the navy to port.

I know these kinds of school officials. I read about the chronic drug use in suburban schools here and they instead crack down on kids having out of date or missing parking permits.

[taxcontrol]

School policy does not trump the Constitution and only a lawsuit will teach these propeller heads to back off.

[fredhead]

Let’s look at this from the outrageous point of view of the stupid school administrators:

Kids have hands. Hands can be made into fists. Fists can injure and even kill. They should ban kids who have hands from school.

Its about the same mentality.

[thefactor]

I grew up in the area (Loudonville) and this is complete nonsense. These people need to get a life. I am a cop. Would they stop me from carrying on school grounds? They would probably try.
