Yesterday in Atlanta, we had a school in lockdown because somewhere in the area there had been a car-jacking. And I pointed out to the caller the fact that someday, these kids ... locked up inside a school, unable to play in dirt or eat birthday cake at lunch or play a sport that might cause bruising ... someday we are going to be asking these kids to fight for our country. Go, you little pansy, put your life on the line! There is no way in hell that these kids will be able to handle it.

And it is stories like this that just add to my collection of stories about the wussification of America. This story takes place in Delaware. Zachary Christie is 6-years-old. He recently joined the Cub Scouts. Good. I'm glad his parents signed him up for the Scouts, now we have to work on the whole government school thing ... but that is another rant. So Zachary joins the Cub Scouts and his parents take him to the store so he can buy some camping equipment. And Zachary is really excited about his new gadget - a camping utensil that serves as a knife, fork and a spoon. So Zachary packs his lunch for school the next day. In his lunch box he throws his new utensil so he can eat his lunch. So he gets to school, whips out his new utensil and it wasn't two minutes before Zachary is being harassed by school officials. Why? For bringing a knife to school.

Zachary is suspended from school. Not only that, but then he faces 45 days in the school district's reform school. Zero tolerance policies. He was accused of bringing a weapon to school and knives are strictly banned, "regardless of possessor's intent."

That, folks, is what we call the wussification of America. And you have government schools to thank for it.
