Get the Point?

See Zachary. See Zachary bring a Cub Scout weapon to class. See Zachary fillet his teacher.

Seriously though. Six-year-old Zachary Christie lives in Newark, Delaware and brought his Cub Scout eating utensil to school so he could eat his lunch with it. Now he's been tossed out of school because the utensil has a knife and knives are specifically banned because they're weapons. He may have to serve 45 days in reform school.

His mother offered her fiance and Zach's karate teacher as character witnesses. Say wha'?

Okay, first of all, what the hell was Zachary having for lunch that he needed a knife and fork? Filet mignon? Probably not. The kid didn't need to bring the utensil to school to eat his lunch which I'm sure was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. So, Mom, that's when you step in and tell him, "No," and let him hold his breath till he turns blue.

Zachary is reluctant to return to school. "I just think the other kids may tease me for being in trouble,” he said, pausing before adding, “but I think the rules are what is wrong, not me.”

Yeah, of course. It's always someone else's fault. Did Mommy teach you that or your karate teacher? Or maybe Mommy's boyfriend?

Well, listen, kid, if the other children get on your case you can just plunge your Cub Scout camping utensil into their necks.
