Teen suspended for having tool in car

Fascism season really has set in, hasn't it? This is the second "zero tolerance" story here in less than a week.

A student at Blaine High School in Blaine, Minnesota, has a job that many other teenagers have: He cuts boxes at a store. This task necessitates a box cutter.

But 11 days ago, the guards (!!!) at his school peeked into his car and found his box cutter being stored safely therein. The tool was there because he goes to work right after school.

The result of having the tool that he needs for work in his car: 2 weeks of suspension, and the expulsion process has commenced.

Maybe the next thing that ought to commence is a lawsuit - against the school.
