You're going to dismiss another article because of the source? Google your own darn article then.
What part did he embellish? Being an Eagle Scout? Attending church? Being in high school? Having a family? Existing??
Although it pains me I agree with Bill on this. The policy is zero tolerance. If one can skate by it will set a precedent.
That all being said 12 years ago I carried a Leatherman with me to high school. The times are changing, however.

Its a opinion fluff piece from a right wing blog ... and the commenters were all surprise surprise ... right wingers ...
And
Yes on precedent, yes on zero tolerance ... the rule - lets try when you get pulled over going 50 in a 35 see if you can talk yourself out of the ticket saying you didn't know it was 35 there ... or better yet see if you can call your mom to come there and remove something ...
Ignorance is no excuse ... however even RMoney doesn't know that ... "he has generously offered to leave the country and not pay any taxes ... not knowing he still has to pay taxes at the same paltry 13% he has been paying while sitting here"
I think it runs in the republican blood ... if you dont like something ... just call it government waste ... or claim you didn't know the gun was in your car.
At the end of it, this kid will probably end up seeing a judge who will say ... "Yea dont do it again, now get out" which is right ... however that is a call only a judge can make ... not a school principal.
Cool.
