I’m amazed at what stupid shit people get up in arms about so that they can get on the news

About that kid who got suspended for the Swiss army knife…
All the "wnaaa wnaaa wnaaa" about how the kid was so overly punished. And the school this and the kid that.

What about the parents! Yes, the “camping tool” had a fork and a spoon in it - and every Cub Scout in America has one. But guess what? I don’t care if that “camping tool” had a lolly pop and a bottle of sun tan lotion in it, the fact remains that it had a fucking knife in it.

The parents sent their kid to school with a knife. Regardless of how many harmless bells and whistles and confetti and balloons and condoms were wrapped around it, it’s still a knife. The parents sent their kid to school with a knife. And if the school had reacted any differently than they did, then they would no longer have a rule against bringing weapons to school, because they would have just created a gaping loop hole.

duh.
