Kids are monsters. In elementary school two of my neighbors were constantly at it--one the bully, one the victim. The bully grew up to be as white trash and messed up as the rest of his family, and the victim grew up to be insanely hot.

TOPS is a K-8 magnet school for Seattle School District in the North end. Alot of parents I know scrambled hard to get their kids in there. It shows you crazy is everywhere.

Either the kid who got stabbed is gay (insert link to bogus study claiming that homosexuality causes children to seek out injuries) or the kid who did it is gay (insert link to bogus study claiming that homosexuality causes kids to be violently insane).

This is why marriage must be restricted to one man and one woman.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

This is further proof of how just about anything can be used as a weapon. Banning inanimate objects because they can be used as a weapon is ridiculous. We need to address the behavior.

why is this in the hands of a principal? Why not the police? Do principles have legal judiciary power? I always wondered that when in high school. Why is assault in a school punished with detention after school, but assault outside of school is punished with a little time in jail? If my son were assaulted, I would not be satisfied with a principal playing judge and jury.

I meant "Do principals have legal...."

But you know what I meant.

@9: wait, wait...

are you saying that this incident further proves that schools should overturn bans on GUNS (which are inanimate objects, i've learned) or "weapons" like swiss army knives?

Max, I took a knife to school with me every day when I was a kid. I know a lot of people who took their guns to school when it was hunting season. We somehow miraculously managed not to knife each other or shoot each other in the hallways. So what I'm saying is that it's not the knives and guns that are the problem, obviously, and therefore I'm not all that sure how much addressing the problem by implementing a ban actually solves that problem.
