Skittles?

Here is a CNN report about an 8th grader in Connecticut who was caught with "Skittles" in school. That's the candy. It's not a euphamism for Oxycontin or heroin. Candy.

Michael Sheridan, an eighth-grade honors student who was suspended for a day, barred from attending an honors dinner and stripped of his title as class vice president after he was caught with a bag of Skittles candy in school ...

After getting bad publicity the school apparently decided to take things down a notch and they reinstated the boy to his position on student council.

Sigh... next thing you know schools will be calling the police and arresting 6 year olds for throwing temper tantrums. Oh, wait... they already do that.

If children would just learn to act like mature adults we wouldn't have these problems!
