" we gotta start someplace. In a controlled environment like a school, in todays world you have to have a hard and fast rule, in this case NO KNIVES."

No knives.
No forks.
No scissors.
No firewood.
No frozen dead cats.
No icicles.
No metal rulers.
No drawing compasses.
No Exacto knives.
No pointy pencils.
No Bic type pens.
No antennas on cell phones.
No boots.
No long fingernails or fake ones.
No barrettes.
No shoelaces.
No scarves.
No sweatshirt hood strings.
No pretty rocks for Show-&-Tell.
No bamboo shish kabob skewers
No nails in wood shop.

So where does it stop? Lawmakers, living in their little fantasy world, would like to think that they can legislate protection from danger everywhere, in every place, under all conditions. People with a few functioning brain cells know this isn't possible.

Maybe there needs to be a national Protest the Public School Week, and pull your kids out. Your children are a souce of income for the school district and administration, and nothing else.
