A 17-year old GA high school student was charged with a felony (weapons on school grounds) because he had a fish knife in his tackle box which was in the trunk of his car. Apparently, a dog during a routine check alerted for the presence of gunpowder, and that allowed a full search of his car. The gunpowder residue was from a firecracker, but it was during that search that they found the knife, illegal under the school's zero-tolerance policy.
Just as school officials go batty when finding Midol () in a girl's purse, there's no room for common sense under these zero-tolerance laws, which also relieve high-paid, responsible staff from making a decision.
There goes this poor kid's planned Air Force career.
When I went to high school in the mid 70s, we took a class called out door ed. We had pellet traps and would practice our shooting skills on rainy days and then load 12 and 20 ga shells for skeet shoots on sunny days. We had 4 shotguns and 10 22 bolt actions in the school supply closet. We would bring our own guns to school and clean them on the desk then go on a deer hunt on school forest on school time. We also shot competition 22lr. Even though there were problems with bully's and the like no one ever shot anyone. Now a days liberals pee themselfs if some kid chews a pop tart to look like a gun, or holds ups a finger and thumb to make a gun of the hand. LOL I have never seen so many people lose bladder control before. Scared of their own shadow.
This is what happens when the public school system is run by liberal women and girlie men.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
And while we're at it, if women would stop wringing their hands and running after Johnny because he's (gasp!) pulling Susie's pigtails in the schoolyard, and schools would stop dispensing medicine without a license in the form of sedating every little boy that happens to act like Tom Sawyer, maybe we wouldn't have the explosion of kids "settling things" on their own.
I used to bring a bolt-action .22 to school for rifle club when I was in high school in the early-mid 70s. It was an extra-curricular, after-school sport. Now I bet schools don't even have rifle clubs.
Here is a quick oversite of what California got stuck with.
