Nanny State Run Amok!

The nanny state continues to run amok in schools.  It is okay to have an 8 year old cross-dressing in schools but don't dare to sell a bag of skittles to another kid!  

You can't make this stuff up.  See the link here.


Conn. Student Suspended For Buying Candy In School
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) ― An eighth-grade honors student at a New Haven school has been suspended for buying a bag of candy at school.

Michael Sheridan, a student at Sheridan Middle School, was suspended from school for one day, barred from attending an honors student dinner and stripped of his title as class vice president.

Officials say he was punished because he bought a bag of Skittles from another student.

A school spokeswoman says the New Haven school system banned candy sales and fundraisers in 2003 as part of the district-wide school wellness policy.  

Spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo says there are no candy sales allowed in schools, period.

The student who sold the candy also was suspended.

There should be another side of the story, skittles are a new word for drugs or the school is full of idiots.

Taylor!  Set down the Snickers bar and put your hands up, NOW!  You have the right to remain silent, but probably not the ability....

Well, the school board folded like a bad poker hand and the kid is "reinstated."  Never mind that all the kids in the entire district now realize they are managed by a bunch of moronic, fascist despots who will be watching their every transaction in the schools.  I wonder if they will declare the selling of candy at home illegal as well.  After all, you are what you eat!  Can't have high-fructose corn syrup coursing through your veins even if you bought it at home.  

We can all rest easy knowing the candy police are at work in Connecticut.

This is the police!  Put your hands up and step away from the Skittles!
