First day of school yesterday for my 1st grade son; he comes home with a 12 page "Student Discipline" policy booklet.

Weapons violations linsted in the booklet  include bringing the following to school:

a firearm
a blackjack
a concealable firearm
an explosive weapon
a firearm silencer (damn, that would be great for show & tell)
a gas gun
a knife
knuckles
a machine gun
a projectile weapon
a rifle
a shot gun
a switchblade knife

This is a school with only K-5 graders.

This "booklet" also states that a "weapon" may include normal school supplies, household items, tools or other materials that could inflict physical injury or harm to another person.

WTF

RANT OFF.

So they can't bring pencils and pens to school? What about a spiral bound notebook. Unwind the metal and dip it in bleach - it'll give someone a bad day!

Personally, I think they should wait until they're in 2nd Grade before kids start arming themselves...

I like they way they list both "a firearm" and "a concealable firearm" and both "a knife" and "a switchblade knife."

Don't forget to dismember your kid, since he has to leave his knuckles at home.

What the heck is a blackjack? I always thought it was licorice-flavored chewing gum...

What the shit is this world coming to when kids can't bring that stuff to school???  Paper clips should be on the list, though.  They're used for organizing terrorist manifests.

No mention of...

Crossbows
Sap gloves
Throwing stars
Hatchets or axes
Piano wire or guitar strings (makes an excellent garrote)
Spears
Flamethrowers
Cudgels

your kid can still take a sword.

Then in all likelyhood if the kid even draws an image of a firearm he will face disciplinary action.

I thought liberal educators considered the male "pee-pee" a dangerous weapon, yet it is suspiciously missing from that list. Hmmmmm....

I guess that means no pens, pencils, rulers, scissors, paper clips, staplers, duct tape, super glue, etc. etc. etc.

When I was in elementary school, I remember my rule book had a whole page of stuff listed.  I had to ask my dad what some of them were.  It mentioned cane guns and cane swords, which I thought were particularly cool at the time.

Well really since they spelled out the few items - I guess that leaves the door open for lots.  Seriously, no machine guns?  Does that include sub machine guns?  How about mini guns?  or plain ARs?

Looks like you're safe with the ASP, sword, and Taser. That laser aimed pencil gun looks good as well.

Lot's of things for show and tell. I didn't see chemical sprays either.

My old school district was the exact same way, had been for years.


This isn't new, I imagine the school just has to cover their bases.  Y'all have to remember that we live in the age where even wee little elementary school kids take out their classmates.  Probably the school is excerpting a state penal code (as was the case in my own school district).  One day some kid will come to school with a zip gun and blow himself or some other child away and maybe, just maybe, the school will need to rely on that redundancy to minimize its own liability in the affair.

Just my 2¢
