This is the most rediculous thing I've ever heard of in my entire life. I can see giving dtention for breaking a rule, beause all rules have a reason, no matter how rediculous we might think they are, but that fact that he was suspended, stripped of his title of class vice president and banned from attending the honors student dinner is just entirely too much.

I realize schools have a reponsibility towards keeping their students healthy, but the rediculousness of this decision might just encourage more students to break the rule because the administration is so strict, ad I bet they wouldn't even get in trouble with their parents who think the rule is rediculous too. Banning sweets does not stop kids from wanting them, in fact it may make them more attractive because sweets become the forbidden fruit, always a turn on for teenagers. All the administration did was elevate the profile of sweets in the school.

Can we say WTF? Zero tolerance policies are among the stupidest notions politicians have ever come up with.

OMG! if u dont no wat ong means... it means oh my god!! haha!! that is FUKING harsh!! when i last checked it wasnt ilegal to buy some skittles!!

That is just weird. I mean it would be better to stop student from smoking or something else that much more dangerous than Skittles. Ok, I know that Skittles will damage your health if you eat it in great amount. But it would be better if you advice them or suggest them not to eat more candy rather than banned them from buying it..

That is the most stupid reason!

guess he was just a bad boy, must've known he couldnt buy candy, naughty naughty

well...i have been feeling off and it seems that the bulk of what i have been posting too have been the same. ITS A BAG OF SKITTLES. were they laced with crack or something? suspending, stripping of a title, and being held from going to something for selling a bag of skittles is the most idiotic thing i have ever heard of. those rules need to be changed. thats weak. if the kid that this happened to ever reads this...im so very sorry this happened and i hope you sue...and win.

Damn Feel Sorry For That Kid ha

That kid needs the ACLU.. where are they when one really needs them?

I think that he should have not been surspended for buying the pack of skittles from another student. But it must be a police of the school for students not to sale thing to other students. That is strange, this is the first time that I have heard of a school doing something like this before.
