Six year old faces 45 days in a reform centre .... For carrying a knife. To eat his dinner with.

Zachary Christie, 6 from Delaware was suspended after carrying a folding knife, part of his lunch cutlery set to school.

It was in breach of the school's zero tolerance stance on weapons. The punishment? 45 days in a reform centre.

Only after public pressure was the punishment dropped and Zachary was allowed to return to school.

Joke ting.
