School suspends cub scout for camping utensil
A 6-year-old Delaware Cub Scout was suspended for carrying a camping utensil to school. First-grader Zachary Christie says he had planned to use the multi-tool—incorporating a knife, a spoon, and a fork—to eat his lunch. But under his school’s zero-tolerance policy, Christie was suspended and faced 45 days in a local reform school. “I think the rules are what is wrong,” said Christie, who was reinstated after a public outcry. “Not me.”
Sex offender arrested for attending church
A convicted sex offender from North Carolina has been arrested for attending church, because the church has a day-care center. State law bans sex offenders from coming within 300 feet of any child-care facility, but James Nichols, 31, says he was “floored” when police arrested him after he attended the church service. “Why am I being treated this way after trying to better myself?” asked Nichols.
What would you do if you were the Principal or the Pastor?
I think the first was way to extreme….I still believe that a six year old would not have the intent to harm someone…….
The second one is a little trickier, On one hand a repect a person for trying to better themselves and going to church, but he should be monitored somehow, not really sure how????? And if he is honest and trying to better himself, then he has faced his past and shouldn’t have a problem with being monitored and or not allowed any child.
