When an eyebrow trimmer is a weapon
A Pennsylvania middle-schooler has been expelled for bringing an eyebrow trimmer to school. School officials at Penn Hills Middle School ruled that Taylor Ray-Jetter’s grooming tool was essentially a razor and expelled her under the school’s zero-tolerance weapons policy. “I did not come up there to hurt anybody,” said Ray-Jetter, 15, who now worries that colleges will reject her because of the expulsion on her record. “I want to be an anesthesiologist.”
