A 10-year-old 5th grader brought a piece of steak to school for lunch, and brought a steak knife along to cut it up. Despite the fact that she only used it to cut her steak, the knife was taken away and the police were called. The girl was sent to a juvenile detention facility, and faces a felony count on her permanent record.
WHAT?!
A zero tolerance policy is one thing, but this is something else - insanity! This is just another example of those in charge fixing the wrong problem. Instead of arresting this girl and charging her with a felony weapons charge, they should have just gotten rid of the knife. Where is the common sense? What is wrong with those people?
