Dianne McCray, [6th grade] assistant principal at Rawlinson Road Middle School, asked the child Wednesday what was jingling in his pocket and the student gave her the 3.5" long nails.
Woman
A school resource officer [Ashley Doster] arrested him. His father picked him up and he was not taken to the police station.
Another woman ...
Why is it that I, a guy, could conceive that two femnisist, most likely non-outdoorsy, non-treefort building women would take this 'bend' with commonly available construction materials like NAILS?

Why add the word "Scout"?Why not? He is obviously a Boy Scout.

State law says anything that can be construed or used as a weapon on school grounds can be classified as unlawful,

A school officer arrested an 11-year-old Rawlinson Road Middle School student Wednesday after the boy went to school with 10 nails in his pocket. I need to get me some nails, and build a shack in the middle of nowhere. This is all too scary.
To: Buddy B
He was a boy scout, the reason why he had the nails, the scouts are under fire by the ACLU and the libs. Freepers are pro scouting.
"He also said he needed the nails for a Boy Scout outing this weekend, the report said. "

The big question is, were these black assault nail's and did they have a lug for mounting a silencer??
To: Buddy B
Why add the word "Scout"?Because he hasn't been an alter boy since last year. "Scout" (now) sounds better than "former alter boy" to a leftist.
One of the reasons why I never read the Herald, my hometown paper.

I see a Scrappleface article coming on:
"The Rock Hill Schoolhouse Nail Massacre"
"Forty students and a school administrator were massacred by a teenage boy weilding a 3.5" nail today...."
To: Coleus
I don't know how many times I have left something in my pocket after working on a project or chore. I hope the family sues the he** out of this school. This crap is getting out of hand. These people are supposed to be educated professionals, but their reaction shows they didn't teach common sense where they got their degrees. This is as bad as suspending 6 - 7 year olds for playing cowboys and Indians at recess using their fingers for guns.

The article fails to note that Wednesday, the day this occurred, was the last day of school.
It is entirely possible that with last day of school threats, that this boy did have the nails for self defense. Also, knowing these kind of things happen, school officials are very sensitive to these kind of things on the last day.

This situation is getting totally weird. In the last decade or two professional educators have completely forgotten how children think. Little boys often collect stuff they find interesting and carry it around with them. Don't they recall the song lyrics from their own pot addled youth, ... brought him string and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff.

Has Scouting changed?

I am thinking about firing out an email asking if pencils are considered a dangerous weapon. I suppose if any carpenters happened to walk into the school to work on a construction project, you would have the swat team called in. A screw driver to change out an electrical outlet would cause an incidence response that would have the neighborhood evacuated within a ten block radius.
The school board needs to hear how ridiculous the look.
