SIX Year Old Remanded to Reform School & Suspended For Cub Scout Camping Utensil

When will it stop.

 Six-year-old Zachary Christie was so excited to become a Cub Scout that he brought his camping utensil to school. The tool serves as a spoon, a fork and a knife, and Zachary wanted to use it at lunch.

What Zachary didn't know was that the gizmo violated his school's zero-tolerance policy on weapons. And now the Christina School District in Newark, Del., has suspended the first grader and ordered him to attend the district's reform school for 45 days.

Zachary's parents insist their son did not intend to hurt anyone, and they are fighting to overturn the ruling.

"Zachary wears a suit and tie some days to school by his own choice because he takes school so seriously," Zachary's mother, Debbie Christie, told the New York Times. "He is not some sort of threat to his classmates."

The school district, in a statement, said rules are rules and defended its decision to suspend the boy.

"At this time, the Student Code of Conduct does not take into consideration a child's age in a Level three offense," the statement read.

HE'S SIX YEARS OLD!!!... I'm a parent of a former webolo, cub scout, and Boy Scout, GEEZ, It fell out of his book bag,....

I would literally be arrested for communication of threats and disorderly conduct when dealing with these zero tolerance asshats

IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!!!

It's a fork, spoon and butter knife,. 

Right up there with the suspension of a student for drawing a gun in art class!!!!

No kidding, get involved parents, take the teachers and principals to task, and fire them for this kind of BS. The PTA has gotten so weak, the only thing that will change the future is your involvement and firing the school board, and hiring better people.

Hell I guess I am lucky that it as not happened to my daughter yet  ;D

a couple of months ago

the director of the child care centre was walking a new parent through showing them around
they get to My Daughter and ask what she is doing   

Drawing.   was the answer

ahh on,  what are you drawing ( in pink mind you)

her answer    a rifle,   I want one when I turn 5  it has to be a pink one though 

hehe    the director and the parent had a bit of a laugh   
then the director went on to explain that her father is a "sporting shooter"   hehe  and she want to go to the range with Dad

my Daughter is only 3 at the moment   God Bless her   ;D



Also   the Director of the centre  is my Mrs ( hehe )   and i have been hearing how she has been telling her teachers that she wants to go hunting for rabbits, foxes  ( wonder where she got that idea from hehe )

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Zero tolerance has come to mean, "Hey we're too lazy and too stupid to apply logic and reason and make sensible judgement calls."  Oh, I forgot, if we do use sound judgement we will tread on somone's race or "rights".  Therefore, everyone must be a criminal psychopath, even the elementary school kids!!!

Okay, deep breath... I'm done now.  ;D

Every time I hear a story like this it pisses me off to the highest of pisstivity.


I've posted before about the kid a few counties over that had his entire high school endeavors (he was three weeks from graduating and was to be the Valedictorian) shot to hell due to a steak knife left in the bed of his truck after a weekend camping trip and a school's 'zero tolerance' policy.

That's twice today.....dammit.

Good on ya, Phil.

I heard this nonsense on the news last night. It makes my blood boil! It's a good thing I never had kids. If that were my son, I'd be going to jail! This kind of crap is completely out of control. Here in Phoenix a couple of years back we had a girl who was a Trap Shooting Olympic hopeful. She would practice every morning at the Ben Avery Clay Target Center before going to school for the day. One day she was running late and left a couple of boxes of trap loads on the back seat of her locked car. A school official saw them, and she was suspended! It made the newspapers. This kind of crap is not "zero tolerance". It is simply zero brains!  Bill T.

 Zero tolerance requires Zero judgment and zero responsibility among school administrators.
