WEAPON (?) CORRRECTNESS

A "compassionate" educational system: These sickos obviously hate kids

Officials at Indianapolis's Lincoln Middle School expelled 12-year-old Jacob Finklea for a year for bringing a "weapon" to school--a pair of fabric scissors, which he planned to use in a sewing class, WRTV reports:

"I put them on the desk because [the teacher] said, 'Get all your supplies ready to make the pillows,' and I put the scissors on the desk and she just freaked out," Jacob said.

Jacob's mother, Chrystal Finkela, "said she has contacted several schools to see if they'll teach her son" during the year he's banished from Lincoln, "but the word 'weapon' on his record has deterred many schools from even meeting with her."
