Bossier Parish students shouldn't automatically be expelled for one year for having Advil or other over-the-counter drugs at school, according to a Bossier School Board committee.

The full 12-member board will vote Thursday on a proposal to ask system officials to clarify board policy outlining that principals have discretion in disciplining students caught with over-the-counter medicine. The board also will consider a number of other recommendations the five-member panel made Tuesday night.

[Theodore R.]

the school system discipline policy says over-the-counter medications will be treated the same as prescription or illegal drugs.

Another example of the moral relativism of public education.
