YOU can bring a knife to school

As far as I can tell, a weapon under a shirt is still a weapon. I believe in tolerance for a religion, but what of the snake handlers?

I love the part where they say:
"There are many objects in schools that could be used to commit violent acts and that are much more easily obtained by students, such as scissors, pencils and baseball bats."

The same could be said of box cutters, no? And toenail clippers, not on an airplane my friends. Symbolic or not a knife is a little more scary when brandished than a HB 0.7 clicky pencil.
