Here’s the story of a New York Eagle Scout Suspended From School for 20 Days for Keeping Pocketknife in Car <\/a><\/p>\n

A 17-year-old Eagle Scout in upstate New York has been barred from stepping foot on school grounds for 20 days, for keeping a 2-inch pocketknife locked in a survival kit in his car.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read the whole thing.<\/p>\n

Then ask yourself what’s wrong with the public schools, the education system, the courts, and maybe America in general.  Some people have well and truly lost their minds, and unfortunately they are the ones with power over the rest of us, and our children.<\/p>\n

It’s simply embarrassing.  What would the American founders say about this?  What would anyone even 50 years ago say about this?<\/p>\n

I do know this.  If I am ever in a tight situation, an earthquake maybe, or tornado, or flood, or just in need of help, I won’t be getting any useful assistance from the nitwits who pass these kinds of laws and make these kinds of regulations, but I will be getting help from any Eagle Scouts who happen to be around.  They will be the ones who are prepared to help, which means having both knowledge and the proper tools.<\/p>\n

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.<\/p>\n
