Students Banned From Bringing Pencils To School 426

mernilio writes "According to UPI: 'A Massachusetts school district superintendent said a memo banning sixth graders from carrying pencils was written without district approval. North Brookfield School District interim Superintendent Gordon Noseworthy said Wendy Scott, one of two sixth-grade teachers at North Brookfield Elementary School, did not get approval from administrators before sending the memo to all sixth-grade parents, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reported Thursday. The memo said students would no longer be allowed to bring writing implements to school. It said pencils would be provided for students in class and any students caught with pencils or pens after Nov. 15 would face disciplinary action for having materials 'to build weapons.'"

Well I always wanted to see the USA (the land of freedom some used to say). This latest idiocy is the final straw in my book so I will NEVER set foor on US soil. The whole planet is in turmoil and whats' one of the biggest countries doing to help? Stamping on the rights of not only its citizens, but also on everyone else. Its a tragedy that the american people are tollerating this. You guys fought bloody wars for the freedoms that are being taken away by petty minded politicians who have no clue how to really make the world safer! Makes me want to scream.
