There's a decent sized knife in that thing, so the principal had to follow the rule, regardless of intent. That said, 45 days of suspension is not warranted in this situation. At least let the punishment fit the "crime".

Wonder how many kids lost a finger while trying to cut their Salisbury Steak with one of those things? We used these:

As for the rest of your post......no shit
Thats the thing...everyone lives in fear of lawsuits.

With cases like this...I'm sure it all started with some hockey mom showing up asking "What are you doing to keep my child safe?"

Paranoia is a problem.

True story,

Close friends of ours took their 9 yo son Jared up to his grandfathers house a few weeks ago and while they were there the grandfather happened to be target practicing on his property(140+ acres). The grandson picks up a few empty shells laying around and sticks them in his jacket pocket. Both of them forget about the shells and Jared travels back home with his parents. A few days later Jared picks up his jacket and wears the jacket to school. All of the sudden the grandfather realizes what Jared did and called his mother to tell her what was in Jareds jacket. She rushed up to the school immediately and had to somehow take his jacket home and give him a new jacket.

It all worked out OK and she made the jacket switcharoo without suspicion, but if he had been caught with empty shells in his jacket, he would have been permanently expelled from the school district. Over empty shells? Come on... Use common sense, the boy posed no threat.
