"My Education Bill is working! burp..."
Jello? If jello makes me tipsy, I'd love to know where to get my hands on some.
Well it would stand to reason that if the did contain alcohol she would have been arrested and expelled dont you think?But the sherriff and school administraters think that we peons that are readingthis story are so stupid we cant figure that out on our own
I wonder if the little girl and her friends even know what Jello shots are.
Why is the default assumption that the jello was alcoholic? If the girl had a little packet of salt or sugar in her lunchbox, would they have suspended her because she had a white powder in her lunchbox that had the same appearance as cocaine, without any necessity to test it?
I would have her do it a second time, and then sue the school when they expel her. Raising the stakes is the only way to bring attention to the matter. Things must change, this is getting ridiculous.
Perhaps you recall the momentarily famous "lemon drop" episode that made the news a few years ago. It happened at my kids' school, and the media reporting of the incident was horribly inaccurate: "a kid was suspended for passing out lemon drops!" In truth, the kid had them in a prescription bottle, they looked like medicine, and he told kids they were medicine. He was not suspended: the principal sent him home for the rest of the afternoon (a couple of hours). But the mom (a real piece of work, like her kid) called the media with a wild story, and the rest is history.
For that reason, I never trust the veracity articles like this: reporters are prone to giving their slant to a story about which they very likely know nothing.
I think the key question is: what did the little girl say about the jello shots she was selling? Did she tell people that they were alcoholic?
If I were the principal, I might very well suspend a kid for doing that -- though 9 days does seem a bit much.
Why aren't there calls for the heads of the administrative dweebs who suspended this innocent little girl?
