Fifth-grader suspended at overnight nature camp for bringing Swiss Army knife
A 10-year-old California boy was suspended and threatened with expulsion after he brought a Swiss Army Knife on a week-long school school camping trip.
According to a school incident report, the boy showed the small knife to other students who then reported him to teachers. The incident report stated that law enforcement was also notified. However, no charges were filed.
Bandermann, who was out-of-town on a business trip, said he received a telephone call from the schools principal informing him that his son had violated the schools weapons policy. The punishment, she told him, must be immediate and severe.
She threatened to expel him, he said. She kept telling me, you cant bring a weapon to school. A Swiss Army Knife is a tool not a weapon.
Since he was unable to pick up his son, the principal put the boy in 24-hour isolation at the camp held in a teachers lounge where he was forced to eat and sleep in solitude.
I felt as though I want to pull him out of the public education system and homeschool him, he said. I felt as though the public education system is becoming the bottom of the barrel. I felt sorry for todays kids.
