Really?

I don't know if any of you three who probably read this blog have seen this, but a six year old boy who brought his favorite camping utensil to school to eat his lunch with was forced into reform school for 45 days with hardened delinquents for it. This kid was obviously excited to be in the cub scouts. According to this Fox News report the local school board is working to change the rule that will put the boy in reform school to exclude kindergartners and first graders.

My irrelevant opinion? The school district board members and school administrators really need to use their brains, and think through a situation. The current policy means that they give this punishment out despite intent. The system of law we work on often relies on intent. Why are they exluding that as a defence for this boy?
