A 14-year-old boy was walking to school when he realized he had a pocket knife in his coat pocket. (He had been using the knife for whittling.) Of course, pocket knives aren't allowed in school. He could have hidden in his backpack, where no one would have noticed. Instead, he decided to do what students have been told is the right thing to do -- he turned it in to an official as soon as he entered the building.
In return for this, the school suspended him for 10 days and are holding expulsion hearings. And the principal is suggesting expulsion!
Unless there is something that was left out of the story (as often happens), this is freakin' nuts!
