Re: Should this Eagle Scout have been suspended for keeping 2" pocketknife in his car
I'm not saying I disagree with you because I don't think the punishment was appropriate either.
However, I do think that some form of punishment must be given. Five days suspension was too much. One day suspension would have been enough, if suspension was the minimum for such a violation. If the minimum was detention, then I believe detention would have been sufficient in this case.
There needs to be some sort of punishment because the eagle scout did violate a rule.
I don't think that's the issue, I think a just outcome is the purpose. The policy is for safety, and since the Scout clearly demonstrated a concern for safety, he fulfilled the intent of the policy.
