So, instead of just confiscating the item and confirming whether or not it presents any danger, and then upon finding it’s no danger, return it to the boy, they initiate a “zero tolerance” response?
Sounds like a real rational administration there...but I bet they were out front and center patting themselves on the back. Telling the cameras how they did such a good job “protecting” their students...
A bunch of panty waisted, know nothing “educators” who can’t or won’t take the time to EDUCATE themselves on something.
Ignorance can be cured, stupid is forever...folks like this insist on remaining stupid because there’s no work or effort involved in remaining stupid but there is in dispelling ignorance.

Which is exactly how the school handled it, if you read the article. They realized it was harmless and gave the kid a minimal sentence of silent lunch. There was no zero-tolerance response and I would have been very critical if there was.
