A Grade 12 student in Lethbridge, Alta., was suspended last week for dealing Pepsi to fellow students out of his locker.

Keenan Shaw was suspended for two days by Winston Churchill high school for selling the soft drink to students, violating a school policy that only permits diet pop on the premises.

Shaw says he was told the sales violated the nutrition and marketing policies, and that he was operating a business without a licence.

But compared with what some other students sell at the southern Alberta school, Shaw says, his transgressions were minor.

"I'm not going to name any names, but I know a couple of people selling marijuana, there's kids selling smokes, there was a kid last year selling meth, as well as a kid selling acid," said Shaw.

Shaw says he has been told he will be expelled if the pop sales continue.

His mother says she believes the school went a little over the top and that the punishment is too extreme.

The real story is that he is competition for the company providing meals and drinks to the school district.

The principal is merely the enforcer.

You forgot pastries eaten into the shape of a gun.

Anyone in Atlanta should be banned for dealing Pepsi. Coca Cola Bottling is Atlanta.

Alberta.

Geeze yer a wascist...

[Buckeye McFrog]

Don’t tell me....the guy in the next locker deals weed with impunity.

[MrB]

Sell playing cards - give the pepsi as a free gift with purchase.

The Nazis looked down on black marketers in the prison camps also.

You should protest this nonsense by sitting outside the school and giving away free cans of Pepsi to the students. Then sue the school for violating your Charter rights when they predictably call the RCMP to take you away.

It could have been worse. He could have been dealing those little cellophane bags of salted peanuts to pour into the Pepsi too. That would be grounds for double secret probation.

As far as anti PC pranks, I have always wanted to sneak into the school play ground at night and spread dozens of cap guns and caps all over the place. The morning would erupt in utter and complete chaos

So the Narc informant of the past liberal utopian era has been replaced with the Snarc informant(snack narc) in 2014?

All this while the school force feeds your kid ADHD drugs like amphetamines(Ritalin and Adderal)and arrest them for eating lunch from home..............

[blackdog]

An Arkansas Cocktail = A can of Pepsi or Coke, and dump the peanuts inside after taking a few sips. You eat the peanuts as you drink your soda.

Best lunch ever!

[I want the USA back]

He should have sold gay or abortion literature. Then he’d be given an award.

[Ray76]

Psst - hey Timmy’s got some pepsi. It’s cold too.

Yeah? Ok. I got some peanuts from Bobby, I’ll meet you under the bleachers.

[polymuser]

LOL!
And toss in some Indian head dresses, candy cigarettes, and dodge balls.

After getting busted and in the slammer, this kids

From Alice's Restaurant and Massacre

I walked over to the group W bench and they said, "Kid, whatdya get?" I said I didn't get nothin, I had to pay 50 dollars. They said "kid what was you arrested for?" and I said litterin and they all moved away from me on the bench there. Until I said and creatin a nuisiance and they all moved back, shook my hand and we had a great time on the group W bench talkin bout crime and mother stabbin and father raping....

[jiggyboy]

Sheesh yourself. I assumed this was in the U.S., and it certainly could be, any school day in any state. Especially the piling-on of “operating a business without a license”. There’s no such thing as “hey you can’t do that” being the end of it any more.

“Conservatives are stupid if they don’t capitalize on this BS with winning kids over.”

We can’t capitalize on it when so many of our party have their own statist sympathies.
