How about some common sense! Jeez, that's what this world is in dire need of.

Also this quote of hers: “If teachers understood that the light was as dangerous as a knife, perhaps even more so considering the permanency of the injury they can cause, they would have immediately have taken the light,” Bates said.

Since when did laser light become as dangerous as a knife!?!?!?

Permanence of the injury? Knives can cause death - doesn't get much more permanent than that. :confused::confused:

I submit for consideration chairs. They make really good heavy blunt weapons, and are way too available in our schools. No more chairs!

As always, "For the good of the children."

Oh well, idiots at it again.

I would also propose that fire extinguishers be banned from schools, as they have good weight and exellent handling properties to bash peoples skulls in. They are far better suited for breaking a skull in one swing than something like a baseball bat.

A slight side effect is that more students will burn to death when these are banned, but hey, how often does that actually happen compared to injuries from violence really.

But perhaps they only care about permanent damange to the eye, not so much fatalities and such. In that case i would opt for a ban on things like pens and pencils, since those are far more easy to use, and far more effective, in causing permanent blindness if someone chooses to do so.

Also ban paper. One pack of 500 sheets of copy paper is enough kindling to set fire to a school with an ignition source as simple as a match or lighter, provided you took some time to crumble the sheets into balls and fill a classroom with those :D

I would think you would want to ban staples as these have been propelled by rubber bands to put out more eyes than any other single thing I know. Especially the large box staples. Why not ban anything sharp?

Yup, put rubber tiles all over the premises and all will be well on that school.

Perhaps it's something i'll never understand, but i usually had a swiss army knive on me in school (european, not american btw) and that never was any problem. I suppose that could have been used to stab someone (in the eye or otherwise) but it worked well on cutting apples, fastening screws on bikes, filing nails and what not.

Oddly these things were never involved into people getting hospitalized in school at all. I think the major thing was gym classes that sent students to the ER, and just accidents after that. I actually ended in hospital after a bit of a fall on the playground landing on a somewhat sharp base of a metal pole resulting in a laceration to the head requiring a few stitches. Someone it never occured to me to blame the pole for that mishap - and it all healed up nicely anyway.
