I went into my school today(American public school, im a senior- the school is "open" on sunday, there arent any classes but if students want to meet there for school related activites, or use the schools library or computer lab- also some teachers have extra help classes on Sunday. I ironically went to go meet a teacher im a friend with outside of school and help her move some heavy equipment around in a couple of classrooms).
I helped the teacher I went to meet, and then as I was leaving the school in the hallway the vice principal saw me, yelled at me about my necklace and called the security gaurds....
Several years ago when I went to Israel I bought an interesting necklace which I really like, though I lost it. I found it again yesterday and wore it when I went into school today. It is a bullet hanging from a chain, the bullet is a spent round(its actually a bullet from the 6 day war), it is used. There is no possible way it can be fashioned into a useable bullet again.
The security gaurds "escorted" me to the principals office(they didnt restrain me....just walked with me and the vice principal), and I was told wearing this necklace violates my schools 0 tolerance policy on guns.
I explained that this is a spent round, not a useable bullet and it could not be fashioned INTO a real bullet again without the aid of a machine shop......
Aparently the adminstration in my school fears I am carrying a machine shop(complete with the needed chemicals) in my pockets, or hiding one in my locker.
My locker was searched.
I was suspended for the next week, and told if I wore it again I would be expelled and not graduate(graduation is in 2 weeks).
I wore a used round, totaly useless bullet. It cant be fashioned into a weapon in any way shape or form. I live in suburbia, no gangs exist here and fighting in school isnt a problem.....ONTOP of this I have a perfect behavior record.
Does anyone else think this is insane?
