Four boys at the Hickory Middle School in Chesapeake, Virginia were suspended and may be expelled for handling a baggie full of oregano at the school. The ill-fated prank was held to be “unacceptable mockery of the school’s ‘zero tolerance policy’” by the school administration.
“While oregano isn’t a banned substance, per se, I mean we use it home-ec classes, placing it in a small plastic bag and passing it to another student is the same thing a student would do if it were,” said Vice-Principal Jesse Twitman. “It’s an act of disrespect and defiance toward school authority. If there’s anything that the ‘zero tolerance’ policy is meant to achieve it is unwavering respect for authority by the students at this school.”
Twitman evinced indifference over the prospect that the accused students’ lives might be irreparably harmed by the contemplated disciplinary action. “If we make an example of these smart asses it may shock others into a more obedient frame of mind,” Twitman asserted. “The sacrifice of a few troublemakers is a small price to pay for the broader objective of bolstering the tools available to the proper authorities.”

Are you kin to Mark Twain? lol
He gets everyone.
John may have fabricated the quotes, but the suspension really occurred.
OFGoshS. Unbelievable. (And I don’t just think that because I did the same thing in high school as a prank).
Ok. You got me! LOL ;)
Ultimately arugula.

Thanks for the ping at #18 John. Got caught up on the phone?
Another head shakin’ chuckle.
“...Twitman...” What an appropriate name!
I hate the way they tolerate Zero.
What we need is a zero-idiocy policy.
Who wants to snort some Cream of Tartar?
Anyway, this story reminds me of a friend back in high school who bought an ounce of Oregano for $25.00. She showed it to me and I was ready to put it in some spaghetti sauce. I couldn’t believe she couldn’t tell it was Oregano LOL!
Lock 'em up and throw away the key! /s
Another example of the mental illness of the left.
ya got me.
"...the broader objective of bolstering the tools available to the proper authorities.”
LOL. Twitman indeed.
Nice one, John.
Not only that, there is a formal recommendation of expulsion!
But the thing that got me about the REAL article was that the kid's name is.... Adam Grass.
I about died laughing when I read that. No wonder he was farting around with a baggie. With a name like that, I would, too.
What a contemptible twit. (snicker)
