It's a difference in opinion over what the school should've done.
I say the school should've taken the knife (duh), called the parents, talked to the kid and the parents, and given the kid a warning with the next offense being suspension (or whatever).

I also think it's funny that it was suggested that allowing discretion was naive, but apparently it's not naive to assume that zero tolerance is consistently enforced by the same people who can't be trusted with discretion.
