I think it is past time that we as people use some COMMON SENSE!!! I live in Newark and am absolutely appaled that a full grown adult could not see that this was just a kid who wanted to use his new utensil to eat lunch.
But then Christiana school district (two of my children attended) has never been particularly sharp. And as far as 'not discriminating'. That is total rubish. My daughter was repeatedly touched and fondled by a black student and he was never punished, because he denied the actions. I am glad that this resulted in a change in policy but it is a shame that this young boy had to endure this treatment.
