Girl gets suspension for one of those cake knives she used to hand out campaign cake at school
When you buy a cake at one of the good bakeries they usually give you a serving 'knife' that is plastic but has serations on the edge - allows you to cut the cake and serve it.

5th-grader learns knives aren't OK
School comes down hard on girl, 11, who brought real thing to share cake

A fifth-grade teacher at Leasure Elementary School used a student's serrated knife Wednesday to cut a vanilla cake with white frosting that the girl brought to share with classmates.

After handing out the slices, the teacher promptly turned the girl in for bringing a "deadly weapon" to school, her parents said.

Kasia Haughton brought the cake -- and pastry knife -- as part of her campaign to win votes in a class election and instead ended up with a five-day suspension and possible expulsion for violating Christina School District rules that prohibit students from carrying weapons.

"I understand the world we live in now is crazy, but this isn't Columbine," said 11-year-old Kasia Haughton's father, Brian, of Newark. "This is something that is ballooning into something drastic that it doesn't even have to be."

On Thursday, district leaders changed their minds and said Kasia could return to school today.

They blamed the suspension on "a technical error" and plan to revoke it.

Edit note: It wasn't birthday cake. The girl was running for an office at school and brought in cake to celebrate it. I wonder if she got the cake from Bing's in Newark. I'd vote for anyone who brings in Bing's cake.

This says it all about the DUmmies.  Give them cake (or promise them anything for 'free') and you get their vote.  Do the DUmmies see that?  Hell no.  It took 17 posts for THIS;

17. The teacher was clearly in the wrong, and should be disciplined...however,
 
is anyone disturbed that the student was trying to buy votes with cake?

Why would they....after all they didn't have problems with ACORN buying votes for The Anointed One.

ACORN didn't buy votes for the Obamasiah. 

They either stole them, or made them up....

My third grade teacher was Mrs. Gunn.  I guess she'd have to go by Miss Roberta today.

Zero tolerance = zero common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
