    Hmm sharpy check the date of the original post and the date on the article.
    spoony check matching article in quote of your post and also notice how your thread title implies he was still suspended, when in fact the ruling was overturned.

    Maybe all 6 year olds should bring them to school.

    As long as they're not doing anything more dangerous than whittling, what the hey.

    The US has swung dramatically into the 'you can't to this in school' camp. Twenty years ago it would be utterly unremarkable for a lad in his young teens to bring a rifle to school, to go rabbit hunting afterwards. Never seemed to cause much bother. People have started villifying objects and refusing to believe in personal responsibility.

    NTM

    Personal responsibility in a bunch of 6 year olds, with one of them holding a sharp instrument? I was probably experimenting with collies (the small fish, not the dogs) and my swiss army knife as a 6 year old. And there were a few times when I pricked school mates with pointy objects at that age.

    Now if you were talking about 16 year olds, I might agree.
