8-year-old Dakota Nafzinger, who was born without eyes, had his cane taken away and replaced with a pool noodle by the North Kansas City School District on Dec. 15, 2014.A school took away an 8-year-old blind boy's cane as punishment for acting up and replaced it with a pool noodle, his father told ABC News today.
Dakota Nafzinger, who was born with no eyes, was listening to his music on the school bus when the driver took it away from him, his father, Donald Nafzinger said. Dakota often taps his cane to the music, but this time, his father said he threw it in the air. Nafzinger said school officials told him they thought Dakota was getting violent.
Then they gave Dakota a foam pool noodle in its place and sent him home with it, Nafzinger said.
"It is his eyes," Nafzinger, 35, told ABC News. "He said he was upset because he that's something he needs to get around with."

I heard about this on the news. It seems the boy was using his cane to hit some other student(s). What the ruckus on the bus was about has not been well-reported by the media.
I'll pass judgement (and therefore be disqualified for the jury) after I've seen all the sensationalized versions of what happened.
They can start by firing the idiot who took the boy's cane away.
