[Tired of Taxes]

Candy and junkfood has been a mainstay at every school I've ever known. The health food craze at schools is a recent phenomenon around here. I'm all for healthy, natural foods, and I think schools shouldn't sell junkfood to kids. But this school is taking things to the extreme. There's no mention that he ate it in class. He's being punished for buying it from another kid at school.

Here's my favorite line in the story:

Aside from the nutrition issue, Sullivan-DeCarlo said, students create security problems when they carry money.

Oh, no, we can't have the kids carrying money now, can we? LOL. This story is so much fun. :-)

The security problem is when kids have NO money at all and are stuck somewhere with no way to call home! (Oh, I forgot, they have cell phones nowadays, but still...).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Security problems? Hm? Like bullies shaking down students for their lunch money? The truth is this principal does not have the bullies under control!

Also, I bet this 8th grade honor student is white. I also bet that the principal needs to punish this kid so that it can even out the minority punishments.
