  on PA School Being Sued For Suspending 7-Year-Old Student 'Armed' With A Novelty Buzzing Pen

  EXCELLENT!
  
  Maybe the principal wanted to use it for its vibratory effects :)

  Stupidity must be punished

  on PA School Being Sued For Suspending 7-Year-Old Student 'Armed' With A Novelty Buzzing Pen

  I hope they win this lawsuit (A phrase I have never thought, spoken or written prior to this).
  
  Why can't school principals show a little wisdom and do the right thing just once?
  
  If it was distracting in the classroom, then by all means confiscate it but return it at the end of the day OR send a note home to the parents saying it will be returned to them and not the child so he learns something from it. Suspension for this toy is ridiculous.

  HA! Fat Chance.
  This will be a first though. US leading the way in taking away the few rights its people still had.
  The rest of the world will likely follow us into oblivion.
