Guys please. Some intelligence is in order here. A bulletin pen is safe and legal everywhere and no reason to limit its use. Also keep in mind that 1/2 of the school problem is the parents at fault.
The writing utensil is legal everywhere and it's usage needs to be encouraged. Fear is the mind killer, don't go down that road
You are wrong period! Zero tolerance means zero tolerance period! plastic toys aren't allowed, anything related to guns or ammo isn't allowed. the front office has no choice but to follow the letter. Of the school systems guide lines.
If they didn't and a child told their left wing parents and they called the tv, papers the admin of the school would be fired.
Having retired after 35 years, in a large metro school system, I can tell you two things today Zero means zero and NO leeway!
I had a cigar box filled with ammo and clips and magazines that kids in elementary and middle had brought to school, along with the ones that the idiots they had teaching would throw live ammo in with the paper trash and send down to be burned in the incinerator. The idiots couldn't understand why the custodians would be upset and jumping about the bullets whizzing by their heads if the door was open as they were feeding the paper in the unit!
Pen or no pen, even if it is called a writing instrument!
If it looks like a bullet, and writes like a pen it still considered a bullet or ammo or gun accessory.
Talking to the kids parents is a good idea, so you aren't libel in this sue happy society. They may not win the case against you but the lawyers will
