I live in Sumter and was speechless this morning when I saw the story, front page in the local paper. What's happened to common sense?
In the comments, several people blame the parents for not checking her book bag before leaving for school. Say what? Are parents actually checking their kindergartners' bags every day, looking for "forbidden" items?
There is only one thing I would say to her parents: there are several private schools in Sumter, with a whole range of tuitions, and I'll bet that every one does a better job than the government school. So, take this as a warning and move your daughter to a private school!
