New York Eagle Scout Suspended From School for 20 Days for Keeping Pocketknife in Car - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com

He said his school's assistant principal, Frank Macri, approached him on Sept. 21 and asked him if he was carrying a knife.
"I was taken down to the office, and they told me that a student told them that I was carrying a knife," Whalen said.
He said he told them "they could search me and everything, and they said, 'There's no need for that.'"
Whalen said he doesn't know who might have said he was carrying a knife, but he was open with school officials.
"And they said, 'Do you own a knife?' I said, 'Yes, I'm a soldier and an Eagle Scout — I own a knife.'
"And they were like, 'Well, is it in your car or anything?' And I told them, 'Yeah, it's in my car right now.'
"And they asked me to show it to them. I didn't realize it was going to be a problem. I knew it wasn't illegal — my police chief grandfather gave the knife to me."
Whalen said he took school administrators to his car because he thought their fears would be allayed when they saw it was just a 2-inch knife.
"They thought I had a dagger in my car or something like that, so I thought yeah, I'd show it to them," Whalen said.
"I showed it to them, and they told me I had a knife on school property and had to be suspended."
But things didn't end there, Whalen said.
"They brought a cop in, who told them 'he's not breaking any laws, so I can't charge him with anything.'
Whalen said he asked Macri why a 2-inch pocketknife would be considered more dangerous than other everyday items around the school.
"I said to him, 'What about a person who has a bat, on a baseball team? That could be a weapon.' And he said, 'Well, it's not the same thing.'"
The school district's policy lists "Possessing a weapon" under "examples of violent conduct," which "may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including suspension from school

Not sure I agree/understand the correlation to democrats, but it's a sad state of affairs when policies take precedents over common sense.

He's being allowed to return to class now. I know this doesn't fit the normal anti-democrat agenda of volnation (even though partisan politics had absolutely nothing to do with this story), but hopefully that won't stop anyone from using this kid's misfortune as a talking point in an unrelated conversation.

FTR, I'm personally anti-both. Dems and Repubs are both worthless IMO. I'm interested in one policy at a time. Neither of the two major platforms fits me if I view the policies individually.
