A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.

It must have been the degree of the offense that got him in trouble.

a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.

When these things are outlawed..only criminals will have them. We are living in a totally Bizarro world...sadly, one of our own making.

Well, it’s about time somebody drew the line.

Yep, to save the chilrun we need a ban on slide rules. I have the one my Dad once used to design the electrical systems for transit cars for the NYC Subway. He kept it next to his newfangled computer he used until he retired on his 80th birthday. Were he not deceased, he’d probably be an accessory to murder every time a vagrant tosses a citizen onto the tracks.

Errr, I think not, a “Public School Teacher” would have immediate union legal aid and, quickly there after, the apologies from all concerned. Now a “PRIVATE SCHOOL” instructor, that I would believe!

However, I ask you to imagine this, a “Home School Parent” being caught with these instruments of mathematical computation. Why, just think of the consequences, the child might actually learn that “1+1” does not equal Obama and that the laws of mathematics and physics do not care about being “FAIR!” What a horror!

Since a compass can be used to stab someone, maybe the TSA does take them away.

Our government must believe he could actually teach our kids something of value.
