This just shows how bumb our school system is in America. A 6 year old brings in a fork/knife/spoon to show his friends and is suspended for 45 days.
And heres another little anecdote from the article that is even more ridiculous:
"The law was introduced after a third-grade girl was expelled for a year because her grandmother had sent a birthday cake to school, along with a knife to cut it. The teacher called the principal — but not before using the knife to cut and serve the cake."
