Second, you're saying that you would support a school policy that allows kids to bring look-alike drugs to school? ( Roberpaulsen)

Robertpaulsen,

Saying that I do not approve of "look-alike" drugs at does NOT mean that I approve of hauling a kid off to the police station if he does it.

I phone call to the parent, and a stern chat with the principal should be enough in most rational situations.

Government schools are child abuse. That is what has happened to this boy. Emotional Child abuse!

Geeze! An people wonder why boys are foundering in government schools and not making it in college?

To parents who are still sending children to government school:

WHY on earth are you doing this?????

Once the child has a substance he has claimed is an illegal drug, how is the principal supposed to verify that it is indeed powdered sugar? I for one am NOT sticking my nose into a substance and making a guess, nor am I "tasting" it to guess what it is. I've never used cocaine and do not have any idea what it looks like.

Sorry, not my job to endanger my life.

elkfersupper was addressing school policy not state law.

"I phone call to the parent, and a stern chat with the principal should be enough in most rational situations."

So you agree with a school policy prohibiting look-alike drugs. Well, elkfersupper doesn't. So there.
