Well....common sense actually prevailed! It seems that after being inundated by over 1000 phones calls, national media attention, and a couple hundred protesters, the Christina School District Board has unanimously voted to change their "Zero Tolerance" policy. First grader Zachary Christie, who was suspended and ordered to go to Reform School for 45 days for bringing his camping utensil to school can return to school today. The rule has now been changed to be a 3-5 day suspension and then "counseling" if someone brings a "weapon" to school.
These people were out of control in this district - what a ridiculous thing it would have been for this little boy to have to go to reform school. Thankfully, he is back in school (I guess that's a good thing....personally, I think he would have been better off to be home schooled, but the family got their wish, so I guess it's OK).
