Nothing like a nation full of people rightly saying a school board is being ridiculous, since school officials wouldn’t listen to one family that also was rightly telling the board it was being ridiculous. The Christina School Board in Delaware lifted the 45-day suspension to a reform school for the 6-year-old boy who brought a combination fork-spoon-knife, a prized possession from Cub Scouts, to school.

Can’t help wondering how many lawyer hours went into this one.
