"Seriously, Can't We Stop This Nonsense"

I own four Swiss Army knives of the small variety. Four is a lot but I keep losing them and have to run down to Wal-Mart and buy a new one. Then, a week or so later, I'll find the "lost one". Hence, I've got a bunch. The blade is an inch and a half long. If you double that length do not, under any circumstances, be a high school student and leave the knife in the glove compartment of your car located in the school parking lot. If you live in Jefferson, Ohio and do this you'll be breaking the law and kicked out of school. How I lasted twenty years as a secondary school teacher is beyond comprehension.

Here's the story:
An Ohio high school student has already been jailed and kicked out of school for having a pocket knife in his car, and now he fears he could lose his dream of serving in the Army.
Jordan Wiser, a student at Ashtabula County Technical School in Jefferson, is finishing up his senior year from home after school officials searched his car in December and found the folding knife and an Airsoft gun. School officials called police, who charged him with illegal conveyance of a weapon onto a school ground based on the three-inch knife.

“I declined to allow them to search myself or my car and that I wanted to talk to my lawyer or my father,” Wiser told FoxNews.com. “They told me it wasn’t an option.”
Wiser, an EMT trainee who hopes to become both a police officer and a soldier, spent 13 days in the Ashtabula County Jail following the incident.
