Student expelled for bread knife to return to class
03/21/2002
BEDFORD - An honors student expelled from a North Texas school after a bread knife was discovered in the back of his pickup truck will return to classes Friday after school district officials reduced his punishment.
Taylor Hess, expelled from L.D. Bell High School in Hurst two weeks ago, will return after an agreement between Hurst-Euless-Bedford school district officials and his parents was reached Thursday.
"Actually, what I was hoping for is exactly what I've got," Robert Hess, the youth's father, said after the hearing.
Since his expulsion, Taylor Hess had been attending alternative school.
Under the deal between his parents and school officials, Hess' expulsion will be reduced from the rest of the school year to time served.
Superintendent Gene Bunger had said state law allows little room for discretion where weapons are concerned under zero tolerance policies.

Mr Hess probably had some interesting photos of the left wing maggots playing teachers and adminstrators at this school!
Good for Mr. Hess!
Well, every car except one. After they expelled everybody but my son, he was pretty much a lock to be valedictorian.
Awww, looks like the Educationazis got their asses handed them. Poor dears.Yeah! I don't know if it helped, but I sent the superintendant an e-mail yesterday........
"Texans sure are wimps these days. California kids would take it as a heaven-sent opportunity to get on TV and wow the Yale admissions committee.It's called guerrilla theater and civil disobedience. "This country is a sorry place when school kids have to show adults how to be Americans."
Organize demonstrations - "It's Bring A Butterknife To School Day!" The principal will discover he has discretion when the alternative is to lose his job because he's expelled most of the students due to him being an idiot, and the per diem for attendance tubes. The media would love the story and give its organizers lots of free air time. And I expect it would spread to other schools like wildfire.
The way to beat this thing is to make a damn fool of the principal and the Texas legislature. I realize the latter is redundant.
I can't believe that Texans, of all people are afraid to stick it in someone's eye.

Just a few emails from angry Freepers is an early warning to these maggots to drop this stupid action and to back away from it!
I hope the fella has learned that theres a time and place for enjoying some freshly sliced bread, and it isnt in the back of his truck at school. If this type of vigilance saves just one child from a bread slicing injury, it will all be worth it
Where in the constitution does it say we are guaranteed the right to enjoy a piece of freshly carved bread?

Guns Before Butter.
Hess' expulsion will be reduced from the rest of the school year to time served.
Your celebrating over this? Time served for having a butter knife in your pick up truck, in the parking lot of a school? Reduced to time served. LOL! Scratch that. Sad.
Home school and keep a Bowie knife for a letter opener next to your desk.
