The son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy pulled his five children out of Clark County, Nev. schools on Thursday after getting into a disagreement with administrators over the ability to carry pocketknives at school.
The five students are the grandchildren of Cliven Bundy, a rancher who has previously engaged in armed clashes with the U.S. government over the use of federal land. The incident that sparked the removal involved Bundy’s 15-year-old granddaughter whose school refused to allow her to bring a pocketknife to school, according to television station KSNV.
Her father, Ryan Bundy, disagreed with the school’s labeling of the knife as a weapon and, per KSNV, said he has inculcated in his children the need to always carry a knife. His children affirmed his stance, saying that they utilize knives for chores but don’t wield them as 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,” Bundy said.
Bundy said he hopes the administration will allow the pocketknives on campus so that the issue can be resolved, a sentiment his daughter echoes.
“I hope that somehow (sic) figures this out because I still would like to go to this school,” she said. “I really don’t want to be homeschooled.”
I’m guessing that boardgames at the Bundy compound are brief, loud, and violent.
With a family like that, I wouldn’t want to be home-schooled either.
“I hope that somehow (sic) figures this out because I still would like to go to this school,” she said. “I really don’t want to be homeschooled.”
Just tell your dad you don’t want to carry a pocketknife.
Without their pocketknives, how are they going to pass Whittling 101?
What does this moron think children do at school?
I think he must have been “cliven” at a young age. That would explain a lot.
