I don't think this is an "insane zero-tolerance" issue. No weapons to school, he brought one. Sure, he realized it after he got there, but he should've taken it home right away. This isn't like the case of the varsity baseball player who was expelled for having a baseball bat in his car, this was a WEAPON used to KILL things. I'm sure he didn't intend to use it to kill things at school, but really, wouldn't ANY would-be killer say "I wasn't gonna use it" if they got caught before-hand?
I think this is a legit case where the school is right.
I disagree. He told his first period teacher as soon as he remembered it was there, it was the teacher who didn't tell administration until later in the day. The kid did the right thing and was punished for it. The teacher could have told him to take it home, or advised him to call his parents to come get it out of the car. Remember also, the bow was broken- not in working condition. "Zero tolerance insanity" applies where common sense is overruled by "the rules".
The lesson taught by the school is obvious; honesty and responsibility for correcting mistakes are punishable offenses. There is a reason why the 5th Amendment was added to the Constitution before it was even ratified.
