A 10-year-old girl brought a knife to her school in Ocala, Fla., last week and used it in the cafeteria to cut her steak; she now faces a felony weapons charge.
Teachers at Sunrise Elementary School told Marion County sheriff's deputies they seized the 4-1/2 inch steak knife last week when they saw the female student, aged 10, using it in the school cafeteria to cut the steak she was eating, Ocala.com reports.

Sheesh, how many times are we going to post this same article.
saw-it-off-and-kick-it-away.
Before it infects the rest of us.
Humanistic legalism (Zero Tolerance) is not going to stop students who are wackos or wackos from outside bringing weapons into schools.
But isn’t it stupid what these rules end up meaning.
Pardon me, but Jesus would have an even better response to this story.
But I don’t think public schools pay any attention to Jesus anyway.
I think folks are going for repost of the year with this one.
SIXTH POST OF THIS INCIDENT
The steak was leftover from a meal she had at home. She brought her own lunch to school and a knife to cut it.
I, on the other hand, am supplying you with a fresh, new never-before-posted source, possibly with additional information not present in others.
FELONY!!!! Oh for crapsake.......
more dangling chads from Americas wang.
Hey, where the beef? All we ever got was mystery meat.
Don’t tell the school, but a fork or a #2 pencil can do just as much damage as a knife.
Perhaps you’ve read it before but some of us haven’t.
Government schools are evil.
The reason is simple. The Education Establishment is presided over mainly by people with advanced education degrees. In Thomas Sowell’s book on American Education, he mentions statistics on SAT scores. Education majors on average are at the very bottom of the SAT score continuum for both math and verbal parts of the test when compared against every other college major. When you give authority over others to the dumbest of the educated, you are going to get institutionalized stupidity writ large.
Knowing the rules, you would think that the parents would have cut the steak into pieces first. How many kids run around with a steak knife in their lunchbags?
This story should be posted every day to remind us what liberals a government schools are about.
why do you care?
