A 13-year-old Massachusetts student caught at school with a knife she used to slice fruit has received a one-day suspension, according to her mother.
 
Morgan LaPlaume, a student at Wamsutta Middle School in Attleboro, was suspended for violating the school's zero-tolerance policy for knives, according to MyFoxBoston.com.
Morgan's mother, Melissa LaPlaume, told the station that her daughter needed to slice the fruit because she has braces and is unable to take bites out of whole fruit.
When the school's vice principal reportedly saw Morgan with the butter knife during her lunch period, he brought her into his office and issued her a suspension.
 
The school's principal told MyFoxBoston.com that the policy on knives can be found in the school's handbook, which is signed by parents and guardians at the start of each school year.
Melissa LaPlaume told the station she signed the handbook but plans to discuss the incident with administrators to have the punishment removed from her daughter's academic record.

We had a young man over our way suspended for having a steak knife in the bed of a pickup off school property.  It had been accidentally left after a picknic.  The truck was parked on a public street across from the school.
 
Our society worrying about butter knives is sorta like Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

what a shame.
i carried a 110 buck in the black
leather sheath in high school.


i never pre-slice fruit that i eat
because i'm not partial to brown
apple slices.


i wonder how many gang kids there are at
that school that walk around with their
drawer-tail hanging out, or how many
walked the halls half lit from dope?


what a terrible time to be young and
at the beginning of your life. the
adults in charge at the schools can't
even keep their hands off the kids
nowdays. look how many school
personnel are arrested for indecency
with a child, yet they have time to
come unglued over some simple crap
like this.


shame-shame

Everytime I see/hear of this PC BS I start humming, "Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell".

When I was in school all the boys (and male teachers) carried a pocket knife.  Most girls carried one in their purses.  We were always using them.  In high school most boys had a rifle in the rear window of their truck too, parked on school grounds.

Yes  I remember it well. But it was everywhere here. Everytruck had a rifle or shotgun in the back window or behind the seat.
 
 Sourdough we are old relics. Some of us are older than others.
