[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew faced similar a expulsion hearing after his dad packed his lunch and included a butter knife for his laughing cow cheese & crackers.  The school did take it very seriously even though my BIL was there to tell them he didn't even think that a butter knife would be illegal as he didn't typically pack lunches.  Their recommendation was expulsion from the local middle school and enrollment in an alternative school.  SIL & BIL checked into that school and it had serious criminals there.  Like, kids who'd been to juvie, been in so many fights that they were kicked out or seriously wounded someone, etc.  So they enrolled him in a private school instead.  This was about 2 years ago.  They even hired a good lawyer as well, but he said that schools are taking weapons found on campus more seriously than ever.  [/quote]

That's not a knife or a weapon, it is a condiment spreader. I would have switched schools too. Ridiculous.[/quote]

I would have bankrupted the county so fast. [/quote]

:roll:  Sure you would have.  [/quote]

How would you know?  Or have any idea?

Wow, you are so cool.[/quote]

DP.  I'll answer.  Because the chances of an individual being able to bankrupt the County, especially when the kid was technically in violation, are slim to none.  Could someone have been persistent enough to get the decision overturned?  Of course, but I'd bet that the chance of you getting bankrupt in that pursuit would have been much higher than the county going bankrupt.  Also, even if you were able to bankrupt the county (which is nonexistent), it definitely wouldn't be a fast process.  [/quote]

So what if it is not a "fast process"? It can be done. "Technically in violation" is a potentially broad term.  There are lawyers that specialize in this type of thing - and they don't just work for the county. [/quote]

Yes, there are lawyers who specialize in this type of thing, but there is a big difference between getting a decision overturned and "bankrupting the county so fast."  Bankrupting the county isn't happening, fast or slow, especially when the county has a colorable argument that the student was in violation.  And I do understand that "technically in violation" is a broad term, which is why I acknowledged that the decision possibly could have been overturned with persistence.  I don't think the original poster took issue with the possibility of getting a lawyer to help to appeal the decision.  I think the poster, and I, take issue with the ridiculousness of saying you'd bankrupt the county so fast, and doubling down when challenged on that.  [/quote]

Are you this literal in your sex life?  How is that working out for you? LOL.
