Highschool student expelled for a year for having Advil

[PanzerIV]

Now along with crack and marijuana Louisiana can pass a law that posession of Advil within 1000 feet of a school or church is a felony

Shady looking character near school:

Psss..hey kid...wanna buy some Advil? This is the shiznit yo!

 

[UNCjigga]

I hate it when people blame sh*t like this on liberals. Earth to fvcking morons...Zero-Tolerance is a policy in line with the Republican sponsored War on Drugs. Just because it has something to do with public education doesn't make it a liberal policy.

And same sh*t with all this hypersensitive PC crap (see Los Angeles master/slave hard drive debate, etc.) DON'T BLAME LIBERALS!!! BLAME MORONS!!!

 

[Brutuskend]

What a crock.

Man I'm glad I'm not in school these days, I would get kicked out first day because I would protest these STUPID rules.

hey! i seen you post and looked for the joke! where is it? booo!

anyway.. i would probably get kicked out also.

I have asthma and carry a inhaler with me. they would probably kick me out for using it.

Good thing they caught em. We gotta get these hippies early, before they taint the womenfolk.

 

[lizardboy]

What a load of crap.

I think it's ironic how schools enact these "zero tolerance" policies on drugs, while openly inviting fast food companies into schools as lunch vendors. Sure, lets not let our kids take Advil when they get headaches, but if they get hooked on non-nutritional Pizza Hut/Taco Bell crap food that's just fine.

 

[stormbv]

This is simply irrational.

 

[PunDogg]

what the hell, the nurse gives you advil what the crap is that

[Babbles]

I am just so happy that I got out of high school before everything being so damned PC and this zero tolerance stuff took hold.

 

[oboeguy]

This is pathetic. Meanwhile kids in middle schools in NYC bring weapons to class (real weapons, not tweety-bird chains that are too long (see a post above)) and aren't suspended if the mom comes in threatening to bring her lawyer. I've seen it happen.

 

[Kipper]

So we kick students out for this, and meanwhile a couple of buildings down a 9th grader is selling pot to middle schoolers and students who would otherwise positively contribute to society and stay out of trouble go down the drain.

I am going to assume by that statement that you are one of those annoying BAAs that accuses anyone who doesn't agree with them of being a "liberal", without having the slightest clue what the word liberal even means, with the idea that it must be bad because Reagan and Bush the first practically turned it into a swear word.

How the hell would a zero tolerance policy be open minded or "liberal"? It's pretty much the exact opposite.

<- liberal and proud of it (except for the second noun usage listed which was pretty much added to the dictionary by the republican party).

Lousiana (and the deep south in general) is largely "neo-conservative" or "Republican" (in other words, Fascist). How much would you like to bet that every registered voter in that school board is a Republican?

 

[Konigin]

Stupid highschools, they should worry more about education than their dumbass rules.

yet the liberal mindset is so pervasive that the school board no doubt is affected.

in addition, liberals don't shut up, so you have to compensate for them, to keep them quiet.

 

And all of you want more legislation.

I can get suspended at my school for having cough drops.

Yes, if I am to take cough drops in school I must have a doctor's note, and they must be taken through the office (this means that the lady at the desk has to actually watch me ingest it).

Then you entire school cafeteria must be shut down. A homeopath could argue that nearly all food substances are drugs with that kind of reasoning.

Drug:
n.
A substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or as a component of a medication.

Medicine:
n.
An agent, such as a drug, used to treat disease or injury.

So is water a drug used to treat dehydration?

Another example of why "zero-tolerance" rules are fscking stupid.

Two cases I can think of here in GA recently:

*kid under 10 suspended because her Tweety-Bird keychain was over a certain length and therefore could be "used as a weapon"

*high school kid working a full-time job as a landscaping laborer in addition to his studies accidentally left a machete in the bed of his truck and wasn't allowed to graduate.


This gets a rating of

½ /

I remember too


BTW, my half-neice from SoCal crushed up ibuprophen (Advil) and snorted it at her new Georgia school so they would think she was cool. She was sent to a last-chance (alternative) school within three days of being here.
