This is the headline at drudge: Teacher Suspended on 'Weapons' Charge -- For Showing Students Garden Tools!
it links to an article with this headline: Teacher Sues School over Suspension for 'Weapons' Charge: Showing Students Garden Tools
This is the first sentence of the article:
Attorneys for The Rutherford Institute have filed a civil rights lawsuit against a Chicago public school district on behalf of a second-grade teacher who was suspended after he displayed garden-variety tools such as wrenches, pliers and screwdrivers in his classroom as part of a "tool discussion" in his class."

I'm guessing the term garden-variety confused the hell out of the editor at cnsnews.
