Offbeat: Cub Scout Zachary Christie not getting zero-toleranced after all

  • Funny what huge amounts of media coverage can do. Tonight, a Delaware school board decided that perhaps the rule that gave Zachary Christie 45 days in an alternative school was a little too hardcore. They changed the punishment for Christie, 6, who brought a Cub Scout multi-function utensil to school, to 3-to-5 days of out-of-school suspension. Which is still too harsh for the crime, especially since the rule change only applies to kindergartners and first-graders. Christie had 150 people in his corner tonight. source
