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.

Diet sodas are disgusting. So the lo-IQ school administrators only allow diet sodas? I have never heard such nonsense

Best lunch ever! Yup. I learned that one in the US Army 50 years ago. In those days, Pepsi came in bottles.

Because methyl ester of aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide is way better for you than sugar.

Young Barack Obama liked to have a little coke when he could afford it.

The peanuts do slide down the neck of the bottle better than in a can. Cans are more common from vending these days. Both will do.

Oh for the good old days when every high school had a malt shop hamburger stand across from the school for those who did not want to eat in the cafeteria.

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. He should try selling little flags.
Woodruff HS Students Made To Remove American Flags From Vehicles(WSPA (Spartanburg, SC) ^ | 9/14/14)
The school's principal, Aaron Fulmer, confiscated the flags because he said it is against district policy to “draw attention” to one's vehicle.

Lord I remember when I was a kid in elementary school we had kids selling cinnamon tooth picks. I guess that would get you thrown out today and what about pitching pennies, gambling, we did that to.

In other words, the school will only allow the sale of soda that causes cancer! (aka diet soda)

That is my feeling exactly when it comes to diet anything, as well as my first reaction to smoking.
