6 Year Old Suspended 45 Days for Bringing Camping Utensil to School

New York Times:  “Finding character witnesses when you are 6 years old is not easy. But there was Zachary Christie last week at a school disciplinary committee hearing with his karate instructor and his mother’s fiancé by his side to vouch for him.  Zachary’s offense? Taking a camping utensil that can serve as a knife, fork and spoon to school. He was so excited about recently joining the Cub Scouts that he wanted to use it at lunch. School officials concluded that he had violated their zero-tolerance policy on weapons, and Zachary was suspended and now faces 45 days in the district’s reform school.”

October 13, 2009, update:  “A school board member says a Delaware first-grader who was suspended for bringing a camping utensil to school is likely to get a reprieve.”
