Snow Snow Go away...

Snow has nothing to do with today's light reading, just that it is here, and I want it to go away.

It would seem that lately many a child has been suspended from school, or expelled due to some "questionable" behavior, one I read about today, was a boy who was removed from his school and him and his parents told he needed to attend a school for "troublemakers", what did he do? He brought metal cutlery to school, to eat his lunch with. Granted, his school has a zero tolerance policy for bringing knifes to school (one his parents supported and voted for at the PTA meeting) but I believe that the dean of his school suggesting he attend a school for troublemakers is a bit much, he wanted to eat his lunch, not attack anyone, again, I do not know if he had a history as a problem child at the school, however I think that this sentence is a little harsh, of course through appeals etc. it was brought down to a 3-4 day suspension from school.

Another boy somewhere in North America was suspended for refusal to say the Pledge of Allegiance, because it said "liberty and justice for all". He is from a family with a mother and father who both support gay rights, and when he told his teacher he didn't believe that there was liberty and justice for all especially when it came to gay rights, and to say the words would be a lie. The school said he was reprimanded because he talked back to a teacher.

Having 3 under 6 brother-in-laws (weird I know, long story), one of which is in school now makes me think, what is going to happen to them? when is one of them going to get suspended, or face expulsion? and what will it be for?

Its a strange world we live in nowadays, isn't it?

Thanks again for reading,
