It's understood that schools have rules. When I went to school, their responsibility for you started when you walked out your front door, ans stopped when you entered your home again. Thats was their accountability for their students. But lets try to interject a little common sense people. I think this is the school board trying to appease the fascist community of Virginia Beach (I lived there for two years when I was in the military, and trust me, they HATE military there.) So now the question is, where does one draw the line? If my child is on vacation in Hawaii and gets a stern talking to about using an airsoft gun, does the school board reserve the right to punish him anyway?
