Penn Hills Student With Eyebrow Trimmer Suspended PENN HILLS (KDKA) ? A Penn Hills Middle School student has been suspended for bringing an eyebrow trimmer to school. Under the Safe School Act, the district says the instrument is a razor and is considered dangerous. They suspended 15-year-old Taylor Ray-Jetter. The instrument was taken from Taylor's purse at school by security guards. She told them it was harmless but they called it a weapon. Taylor was immediately suspended and was expelled Wednesday. The punishment has her worried about her future. "I want to be an anesthesiologist –a nurse anesthetist and I feel like it's going to be on my record so it's going to dampen a lot of things I wanted to do for myself and I'm very upset," she said. "I did not come up there to hurt anybody." Taylor is a member of the basketball team, 9-year Girl Scout, a youth usher, a member of the choir and leadership team, among other activities. The superintendent says the tool is a weapon and Taylor's punishment is all apart of a very strict zero tolerance policy. kdka.com reason.com
