   Yet another of the many reasons why responsible parents should never   
   surrender the souls of their children to the totalitarian government   
   schools.  In case you were comfortable with your decision as a parent to   
   turn over your most precious possession to the nanny state, time for a   
   wakeup call.   
      
   Today's lesson in government idiocy comes to us courtesy of the city of   
   brotherly love, Philadelphia.  It seems last Thursday little 10-year-old   
   Porsche Brown took a pair of scissors to school.  That's right, a pair of   
   scissors.  These were 8-inch scissors.  In other words, full-sized   
   scissors...like sewing scissors.  About the length of a width of a piece of   
   paper.   
      
   And what did the fourth-grader do with the scissors?  Did she threaten   
   anyone with them?  Of course not. But because the empty-headed wastes of   
   oxygen that pass for "administrators" cannot think for themselves, they   
   decided that just because she possessed the scissors, she violated their   
   "zero tolerance" policy for potential weapons.   
      
   So what did they do?  Did they take the scissors away from the child and   
   call the parent?  Not at all.  That would be at least remotely sensible.   
   No....they called the police and had the girl arrested.  So the police   
   arrived, handcuffed the 10-year-old child, and hauled her away in a patrol   
   wagon. To their credit, the police eventually realized she had done nothing   
   wrong and let her go.   
      
   But the government school overlords weren't done with their stupidity.  They   
   decided to suspend the girl for five days.  They're now deciding whether she   
   can return to her school, or be sent to a reform school.  All over a pair of   
   scissors.   
      
   Where you send your kids to school could be the most important decision you   
   make as a parent.  Turn them over to the government to be brainwashed, and   
   this is what you get.  This is how our government schools are teaching   
   children to think, reason and resolve disputes.  Good luck trying to sleep   
   tonight.

   over there die, then we deserve it for the horrible crimes we have committed   
   against the Iraqi people. "
