Scottsdale, AZ
After drawing a picture of a ninja and a soldier at school, an 8-year old student was threatened with expulsion by the headmaster. The headmaster found the pictures to be "violent and unacceptable", as he could not guarantee the safety of the other students.
The school handbook does state that, "Drawings that depict weapons" are grounds for expulsion.
The parents have taken their child from the school.

Bowie High School 'Soft Lockdown' Raises Alarms
Wichita Falls, TX
An intoxicated man with a backpack asked for directions to the local high school. A "soft lockdown" was called for Bowie High School, a preventative lockdown in Safe Havens parlance. Exterior doors are secured, and there is a heightened awareness by staff. This type of lockdown allows classes to continue.
The man was apprehended, had no weapons of any type, and was charged with public intoxication. While arrested at an entrance, he had never set foot on school property. Social media rumors caused unrest with parents, leading them to find fault with the school's actions.

Tucson School Locked Down after Violence Threat
Tucson, AZ
A Tucson school was placed on lockdown for five hours after an anonymous threatening note was found in the nurse’s office Friday, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
The principal of Flowing Wells Junior High School told police he found a the note, which implied the use of guns and other weapons in the school, around 9:30 a.m.
The school, located near Wetmore Road and La Cholla Boulevard, was immediately placed on lockdown and the Sheriff’s Department was called in to investigate, said Clarence Dupnik, a spokesman for the department.
Dupnik said the lockdown was kept in effect during the investigation in order to ensure a methodical and orderly threat assessment.
The Pima Regional Bomb Squad brought a specialty canine to the scene to detect explosives or guns, and the Department of Public Safety and the Davis-Monthan Airforce Base provided an additional two canines to join in the search, Dupnik said.

Girl Attacked at School with Box Cutter Speaks Out
Macon, GA
A Hutchings Career Center student is speaking out about violence in schools after being attacked with a box cutter.
Anesha Henderson, 16, was attacked by a classmate while on her way to class in September.
"Her and her friend said something, so I said 'okay whatever'. So the girl came behind me and hit me in the back of the head," Henderson said, "So when I turned around I hit her back. We started fighting and I didn't even feel when she cut me."
Both girls were suspended and Henderson's attacker was arrested. According to Bibb County schools, Henderson's attacker snuck the box cutter in by wrapping it up inside of money. Henderson said despite metal detectors and campus security, weapons still make it on campus.
"When people fight," Henderson said, "people bring guns and knives to school."
Since the incident, the school district has hired a new campus police chief. Russell Bentley took over in October. He's conducted several random searches on campuses to crack down on illegal activity in schools.

Sikhs Allowed to Carry Daggers at Calif. School
Jurupa Valley, CA
A Southern California school district is allowing some Sikh students to carry an article of their faith—a dagger-like blade called a kirpan.
At least three high school students in the Jurupa Unified School District will be allowed to wear the approximately 2-inch knives at school after their parents agreed to solder them or sew them into the sheaths so they cannot be used as weapons, Superintendent Elliott Duchon said.
The kirpan is one of five sacred articles that baptized Sikhs must wear.
"This is an issue of religious freedom and of faith," said Mary Burns, the district's longest-serving school board member. "Who am I to deny what is an article of faith of a 600-year-old religion?"
However, board member Brian Schafer argued that edged kirpans should be banned and only kirpan-shaped pendants should be permitted in school. Schafer said he planned to ask for a public school board vote on the issue.
"If I were a parent and I knew someone was wearing one of these daggers, I would worry about my child's safety and the Sikh students' safety," Schafer said.

Patrols Up after School Shooting Plot
Albuquerque, NM
Three students have been suspended after a possible plot to shoot up Hoover Middle School.
Officials held a press briefing Thursday morning and police say they are now stepping up patrols around the school.
APS says it came to light Wednesday morning when one of them tipped the principal of the school about it, complete with a diagram.
Six kids were involved but only three are APS students.
The district does not think the threat was credible because no weapons were found at their homes.
