Government To Protect You Against Forks and Spoons

It's a good thing we have the government to protect us against ourselves....of maybe, possibly, misusing a fork and spoon.

Six-year-old Zachary Christie was so excited to become a Cub Scout that he brought his camping utensil to school. The tool serves as a spoon, a fork and a knife, and Zachary wanted to use it at lunch.

What Zachary didn't know was that the gizmo violated his school's zero-tolerance policy on weapons. And now the Christina School District in Newark, Del., has suspended the first grader and ordered him to attend the district's reform school for 45 days.

I don't know about you, but I feel much safer.
