As per Lew’s blog about the six-year old Delaware school boy who was suspended from public school for carrying a Boy Scout knife/fork/spoon camping utensil, the “good” news is that his public school suspension was overturned.

DELAWARE SCHOOL BACKS DOWN AFTER OUTCRY OVER BAN ON PUPIL WITH LUNCH KNIFE

Zachary Christie, the latest poster boy for a movement to soften zero-tolerance rules on weapons in American schools, had been suspended from his elementary school for 45 days and ordered to attend a special establishment for wayward children. His offence: a “Level 3” violation of the school’s code of conduct on the possession, concealment or sale of dangerous instruments.

His suspension was overturned on Tuesday night at an extraordinary meeting of his school board attended by angry parents and every major US news organisation. After the meeting, one board member admitted: “We got egg on our face.” His triumphant mother said that she looked forward to telling her son “that he has a voice, and when things are not right he can stand up and speak out against them”.

The bad news is that his public school suspension was overturned.
