A pocket knife and a pen, these are two things I carry with me almost daily. I'm glad I'm not a middle school kid in the Henry County school system. Apparently, the mere possession of the latter turns 12-year-old Boy Scout into hard line criminal planning imminent destruction who needs to be handcuffed and detained for 48 hours in a juvenile detention center before my parents could pick me up on conditional release. That's exactly what happened to Miles Rankin because of an idiotic "zero tolerance" policy, and unfortunately, it was only the beginning.
