The Los Angeles Times reports from Mission Viejo, California:
A 10-year-old girl was suspended from her elementary school for having a toy gun on her keychain. The third-grader was only the latest victim of a strict zero-tolerance policy forbidding students from bringing "weapons" to school. A 5-year-old was transferred to another school after bringing a disposable razor blade he found at a bus stop. a 12-year-old was expelled for possessing folding fingernail clippers.
