Fifth-grader suspended at overnight nature camp for bringing Swiss Army knife



A fifth-grader in Cupertino, California was suspended and threatened with expulsion for bringing a small Swiss Army knife on a school-sponsored, science-oriented camping trip.

In early April, Braden Bandermann’s class set off on Garden Gate Elementary School’s annual, week-long pilgrimage for fifth-graders to Marin Headlands, just north of San Francisco.

Before leaving, Braden did what any Silicon Valley 10-year-old faced with the perils of nature might do: He packed his trusty Swiss Army knife. As any camper knows, the multi-tool device is nothing if not versatile. Braden’s particular model contains a can opener, tweezers, a toothpick, a nail file, a tiny pair of scissors and a small blade.

The little blade landed the boy in big trouble.

Good thing these laws weren't in place when I was a kid or I'd still be doing time in maximum security! At age 5 I had my own hatchet..........my job was to keep the kindling box full! -

Rules without discretion are unfair.

There should never, ever be, a 'zero tolerance' policy to anything. This rigidity that has wormed its way into law, and then into our schools, will slowly but surely strip us of our ability to judge and react to people as individuals.


BTW, at my children's school last month, a young girl (one of my daughter's friends or I wouldn't have even heard about it) showed up with a steak knife in her lunch. Her teacher took it away, sent a note home to the parents to come retrieve it because she couldn't send her back on the bus with again 'just incase', and that was the end of it.
