Scissors
Apperently, not being able to teach the Declaration of Independence isn't ridiculous enough for the public education system anymore: now a having a pair of scissors in school can get you sent to jail.A ten year old girl was handcuffed and brought to the Police Department in Philidelphia. No other henious act than taking a pair of the teachers 8 inch scissors would have a ten year old girl cuffed and sent to a Philly Police Department. That's just absurd, she didn't threaten anyone and didn't show any signs to do so. The scissors were considered a potential weapon, that was the school districts reasoning for calling the police. As Michael Reagan asserted today on his Radio Show, almost anything can be classified as a potential weapon, next time you're teacher hands you a pencil, realize they are handing you a "potential weapon."
"'My daughter cried and cried,' Rose Jackson earlier told a Philadelphia newspaper. 'She had no idea what she did was wrong. I think that was way too harsh.'" The article I have linked above explains has this and the whole story
Usually I'm on the side of the police, but they should have refused to take this innocent young girl. There was no basis for her arrest; I have a sharp pen or pencil all the time in school.
"It also was 'a waste of vital law enforcement resources,' the statement said."
This is all very silly.
