I would hesitate to call what this kid had a 'knife' in the sense that this 'no tolerance policy' indicates.
Are knives dangerous? Yep. (but again, not sure I would call the thing he had a knife) Did this really need to go as far as a hearing with the school board? Why didn't common sense intervene before it got to this point. I don't see anywhere where it states he had the blade open while getting off the bus, only that he had it in his hand. Seems like he was following the 'rules' abotu carrying a knife.
