Virginia girl suspended for taking self-harming classmate's razor

March 20 (UPI) -- A sixth grader at a Virginia Beach middle school has been suspended for taking a razor away from a student who was cutting himself.

Adrionna Harris took the razor away from a boy at Bayside Middle School and received a 10-day-suspension with a recommendation for expulsion in exchange for her efforts.

Last Thursday at Bayside Middle School, Adrionna Harris took a razor from the student, threw it away and convinced him what he was doing wasn’t right.

She thought she was doing the right thing, so Friday she told the school administration what happened. The way school officials responded led to a question of if the school’s zero tolerance policy went too far.

Instead of getting praise from the school administration, Adrionna got a 10 day suspension with recommendation for expulsion.

The interesting thing — the only reason Adrionna got suspended was because she admitted what happened. The alleged weapon was thrown away, and it was her word alone that led to her suspension.

What the fuck.
We asked Adrionna if she would do the same thing again, knowing she would get suspended for holding the blade.

“Even if I got in trouble, it didn’t matter because I was helping him … I would do it again even if I got suspended, yes,” she said.
At least it hasn't convinced the kid she was wrong.
 
Home schooling seems to be the only sensible option these days. Or possibly a private school. I am a atheist but I would much rather have my kid if I had one go to a strict catholic school that teaches good principles and morals then this be a drone and I will not think on my own government schools.
