Schoolboy not allowed to protect himself?

A story on the BBC about a school boy wearing a stab-vest to school:
Quote:
A schoolboy wore a stab-proof vest beneath his uniform after being threatened.
Considering that the greatest risk IS stabbing AND he had been threatened, then I don't blame him.


But the next bit really made me do a double-take:
Quote:
A police officer was made aware of a pupil wearing "what was believed to be a stab-proof vest", said a spokesman for Scotland Yard. He added that in consultation with the school "the officer told the pupil to remove the vest".
On what grounds?

They make the most bizarre decision...
