Well, sure. But there are already strict laws about stabbing children with spoons.

Interesting that they justify the zero tolerance policy by explaining that the administrators are probably racists. What an awesome school district...

I think it's a typo. They are sending him to refork school.

Ba dum dum

It just goes to prove my theory that Cub Scouts are Amerika's answer to the Hitler Youth. Send them all to Gitmo, so the rest of us can be safe.

Damn mandatory sentencing laws.

Zero tolerance has never worked and it keeps giving the media ammunition like this. You never hear that a 18 yo punk, on probation for trying to steal cars, pulled a switchblade on a teacher who was trying to break up a fistfight. It always seems to be something like this silliness.

He might be a "terrist", send his ass to Gitmo!

And that's Joe Biden's home territory.

Yes it is. I was thinkin the same thing, but I dunno what, if anything, he had to do with it. Laws that take the administration of those laws out of the hands of those most "in the know" seem to turn out badly.

I don't think it's a "law" at all. I think it's the school district's policy.

yeah, from the link.

OMG tell me you're kidding! PLEASE?

Well Biden is the #2 Democrat, with the President's ear, so it must be Obama's fault. Ask FOX News, they'll tell ya.

I was shaw - sheesh! I just didn't think you'd be the one to bite on that. :P
