There's one other thing that I think we always need to remember with these cases. While the parent and kid (or disgruntled employee, or whoever) is always free to speak out loudly about the issue. The school or employer isn't allowed to say a word. We really have no way of knowing that this wasn't the 57th time this kid brought this thing to school and was told he couldn't. I mean, it seems unlikely in this case, but we honestly don't know and the school is bound by confidentiality laws to not say a word about his past record. Sure, Cub Scout who wears suits to school sometimes sounds like a good kid, but I was Cub Scout leader, they are NOT all model citizens. We don't know the history and can't know the history.
