Apparently, the girl had taken the scissors to school and put them in her desk. It doesn't say whether she did this with her parents' knowledge, After all, I give my kids scissors to take to school. She never threatened anyone with the scissors. Instead the scissors were discovered in a sweep of the classroom looking for some property that was missing from the teacher's desk.
In response, the police were called, the girl cuffed, and taken to the police station where she was immediately identified as the main suspect in a mass murder. No, actually the police simply released her because she hadn't committed a crime.
So, was this show of police forced good enough to show the little law scoffer that crime doesn't pay? Not at all, she has also been suspended by the school for 5 days, and the school will now hold a hearing to determine whether or not she should be expelled and sent to a special disciplinary school. Such school are usually full of the most violent and psychopathic kids. You know she'll probably prosper in that climate!
The district claims they are doing this to control a notoriously unruly school system no doubt filled with spit ball throwers, sass backers, and gum chewers. New policies give administrators the ability to expel students for dress code violations and chronic lateness.
The great thing about such a program is that it teaches kids the facts of life:
"So son, what did you learn in school today?"
"I learned that life is arbitrary and capricious, and that the most powerful always attack the weakest and most defenseless of our society."
"That's my boy!"
