Scott Norvell reports that a school fundraiser had to be canceled due to the school's zero tolerance weapons policy.
A high school in Wisconsin was forced to call off a fundraiser when school officials realized that the fishing kits donated to the effort contained filet knives and would not be allowed on campus because of the school's zero-tolerance policy, reports the Associated Press.We can't have the kiddies going door to door selling weapons, now can we. Imagine what fishermen could do if they got their hands on assault knives like those.A local businessman donated the 2,200 kits - dubbed Catch'Em, Cook'Em and Eat'Em -- to the Germantown High School band so they could sell them to raise money for a trip to Scotland in the spring. But band officials cancelled the effort when they discovered that each kit contained a six-inch filet knife.
