Boy suspened for bringing TINY Swiss Army knife - CAMPING.

Well it was a school camping trip. I don't agree with the rule, but it does exist and there is no reason to think it wouldn't apply to all school activities.
 
I mean yes, school function I can understand something like that not being allowed but:

"The punishment, she told him, must be immediate and severe."

That is what got me, right there. For a tiny, resource knife on camping trip the punishment much be SEVERE. Then they made him do everything by himself until his dad could get him? WTF.
 
I have one of those tiny swiss army knife thingies on my keychain. I had to go to court over a civil matter and the court officers made me bring it back to my car.
 
You think that's bad?

I got kicked out of high school for having swiss army knife on my key chain!!! One of those small ones

2 weeks before graduation too.

I had to go to public library for 1/2 year with a teacher to finish up and get my diploma.

A weapon is a weapon, and an knife is a weapon. Sorry but the rules should be clear to a 10 year old. I don't see the school as over reacting. If anything he is lucky he isn't being expelled.

All knives are weapons?

What about a butter knife? Should a butter knife get you an expulsion? Although, a butter knife is not really a knife, now is it?
And neither is a swiss army knife.
