He said he never realized the school considered the keychain knife a weapon.

Heck, the school probably considers drawing a mere picture of a knife to be grounds for expulsion.

I find posts this very funny. My son attended a private school where every young man carried a knife some were pocket knives some were worn on the belt. It was sort of a status symbol. It was never a problem. I’m not talking about a 1 1/2 inch knife either. I’m talking about the “Now, this is a knife...” kind. The guys took very seriously the responsibility of having such a weapon.

Why can these admistrators not look at the situation and apply some common sense? Don’t they have any real authority?
If I were the adminstrator and knew the kid, my reaction would be something like. “Just see that it stays in the golve box.” End of issue.

I bet if he used his fingers to simulate firing a gun he would also get expelled. Zero tolerance policy on guns ya know!

Actually, the words “a picture of a knife” spelled out should be grounds enough. And if the words “a picture of a knife” are rendered in a foreign language, why that’s a concealed weapon.
