School suspends cub scout for camping utensil
A 6-year-old Delaware Cub Scout was suspended for carrying a camping utensil to school. First-grader Zachary Christie says he had planned to use the multi-tool—incorporating a knife, a spoon, and a fork—to eat his lunch. But under his school’s zero-tolerance policy, Christie was suspended and faced 45 days in a local reform school. “I think the rules are what is wrong,” said Christie, who was reinstated after a public outcry. “Not me.”
