My take on this ... having already made clear his intent to apply to West Point, and completed Army basic training this past summer ... the liberal mindset that is so pervasive amongst educators is attempting to destroy this young mans career path

Maybe they have someone else in mind for the appointment? Any of them have relatives, 'friends', etc. who want into West Point?

The ENGLANDIZATION of the United States.

Making everything illegal and going after the upstanding citizens and ignoring the criminals.

If the police spent half the time rousting the no goods that blight our cities that they spend chasing soccer moms and boy scouts we would be a better country.

This is outrageous! Zero tolerance is zero intelligence! The gutless “who are we to judge” people are responsible. So the one size fits all approach is what we end up with. Sue, sue, sue!
ps; I also kind of like the Rules for radicals approach of planting pocket knives in every open car window. Overwhelm the system, claim it is broken, demand change. :)

Truely another hate crime by sniveling liberals against an outstanding citizen.

I tossed that little CZ and a few spare mags into mine, too.

It doesn't bother you to leave a loaded gun unattended when you park? I leave my car in a commuter lot all day and have considered adding a gun to the kit, but the unattendedness factor is holding me back.

Has anyone at FREE REPUBLIC ever considered a sidebar for “idiotic public school decisions?” or “idiotic rules and laws” to kind of give us a gathering place?

Use gloves. Only put knives in cars with coexist, Obama 08 and other like minded bumper stickers. You may also want to select cars like the Prius.

Well, I suppose you could use the handle to poke someone in the eyes.

This needs to go to Rush, Drudge, Hewitt, O’Reilly, Malkin, etc.

Got the Fusion at Sportsmansguide.com for $35.95 - good deal, that. You’ve got the perfect application for that nice little CZ i nthat bugout kit. I’m thinking along the lines of a good Tokarev variant and a few tins of that 7.62x25 ammo for a Christmas stocking stuffer. Tip ‘o the hat to Travis on that one.

Can’t knock Fiskars. That’s standard backpack / garding tool issue for us here. Nice quality tool. Do check out Sportsmansguide. Generally great prices and prompt delivery. They even had some Swiss Alpenflage heavy pants come in my size. Promptly bought an extra pair.

"...the district also prohibits students from possessing anything "that reasonably can be considered a weapon."

Umm....a 2500 lb. motor vehicle can reasonably be considered a weapon. Suspend all students driving motor vehicles.

School teachers like dog catchers are GOVERNMENT employees. So the GOVERNMENT they elected in that town made up this asinine rule without wiggle room. Typical GOVERNMENT action to control citizens during every phase of their life.

You can’t rule innocent men,
so you make so many arbitrary rules that
people can’t go through a day
without breaking a law.
Then you got him.

He is guilty of being a scout and I’m guessing a white male, but above all, he is guilty of being self-reliant.

They probably put him on Janet Nepolitano’s terrorist watch list. A pocketknife should definitely qualify you. </sarcasm>

And, I have heard, that the human mind is the ultimate weapon. Public Schools are doing a pretty good job of disarming us in that regard, too!
