Five of Cliven Bundy’s grandchildren pulled from school over ban on carrying pocket knives

[DonViejo]

Five of anti-government rancher Cliven Bundy’s grandchildren were removed from their Nevada schools because of a ban on bringing knives onto their respective campuses, KSNV-TV reported.

Bundy’s son Ryan Bundy pulled the children after officials with the Clark County School District informed him that his 15-year-old daughter would not be allowed to bring her pocket knife to Virgin Valley High School because it fell under the district’s zero-tolerance policy against weapons.

“They’re trying to make my child a criminal – and any other child a criminal – for simply having something, and that is not right,” Ryan Bundy told KSNV, adding that he planned to speak to the school’s principal and ask that she be allowed to circumvent the policy.

Ryan Bundy stated that each of his children owns a pocket knife and uses it at home for chores, and were also allowed to bring them while attending charter schools and schools in Utah in the past. The other children were pulled from a local middle school and elementary school.

1. Good.

[Hoyt]

2. Bundys just can't accept the world is changing, and they aren't the sheriff.

[Lochloosa]

3. Oh for fucks sake. Give the little critters there play toys.

And why isn't he in jail yet?

[JEB]

7. They are picking on the wrong Bundys.

4. I don't remember any of the chores I did around the house needing a pocketknife.

[Aerows]

5. Those poor children

Next the schools will prevent them from open carrying!

6. I suspect there's a lot more to this than what's been reported

Seeing as how it's Bundy.

On the other hand, I carried a pocket knife to school every day from when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade and nobody ever said jack shit to me about it. Almost every other kid in our school had one too, males anyway.

9. That was certainly my experience.

And I think it was before 3rd grade that I started. But then I went to a 1-room country school, surrounded by woods on 3 sides, for my first 7 years of education. I still always carry a pocket knife, that I keep sharp enough to shave hair of my arm. I always have to remember to leave it in my car when I go into prisons and courthouses with metal detectors.

8. The Bundy Bunch..what a violent family

Where's are the supporters? Would be interesting if they showed up at the school waving their guns and flags on horseback

[Starry Messenger]

10. So glad to hear that charter schools allow knives.

Gosh and people here call public schools snake pits.

[Niceguy1]

11. when I was growing up all men and boys

Carried pocket knives...and they were used almost daily for every day chores. Dont they have cattle?

[Egnever]

12. CCSD is the fifth largest school district in the nation

The zero tolerance policy has been in place here for years. I think since Bush was in office though I couldn't swear to that.

The fact that he thinks the principle can void the policy of the district just points to what a huge ignoramus this guy is.

13. The Bundys are toads, but 0 tolerance policies are bs
