Word has it that he's not going to the school for kids with discipline problems - just going to be suspended; still highlights the stupidity of zero-tolerance rules. |

They wisely bumped this down to 3-5 days. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/33289924/ ... ?gt1=43001 Quote: Yesterday he faced 45 days in reform school. This morning, Zachary Christie is on his way to school for the first time since he made the mistake of taking his favorite camping utensil to school and ran into his Delaware school system's zero-tolerance policy.
On Tuesday night the school board made a hasty change to its code of conduct. The seven-member board voted unanimously to reduce the punishment for kindergartners and first-graders who bring weapons to school or commit other violent offenses to a suspension ranging from three to five days. |

By the way, first graders are cub scouts, not boyscouts. |

I wasn't a cub or boy scout, so I'm not familiar with this camping utensil. I didn't see a picture of the utensil in the article. So what kind of "weapon" are we talking about here? |

Its a swiss army knife style utensil with a fold out fork, knife, and spoon.  *Edit: added image from the NYT |
