The ill-fated prank was held to be “unacceptable mockery of the school’s ‘zero tolerance policy’” by the school administration.

Many zero tolerance policies are administered as zero sense policies and deserve to be mocked.

Ah, satire. Glad I glanced at the link source before I embarrased myself!

I hear oregano is a gateway drug for basil and eventually summer savoury.

In Virginia, any substance that is packaged and intended to look like an illegal substance (such a oregano for pot) is treated as if the drug itself was present.

From the news report, the boys packaged the herb and told their friends it was pot, therefore, whatever the penalty is for pot, will be the same for this.

12 DE Reg. 781 (12/01/08) 2.0 The Following Definitions Shall Apply to This Policy and Will be Used in All District and Charter School Policies "Look Alike Substance" shall mean any noncontrolled substance which is packaged so as to appear to be, or about which a student makes an express or implied representation that the substance is, a drug or a noncontrolled substance capable of producing a change in behavior or altering a state of mind or feeling. See 16 Del.C. §4752A.

Delaware, home of the Bearded Marxist, is not amused. The satire site appears to have plagiarized DE's real policy in order to mock the absurdity of zero tolerance. I'm sure regulators in DE and other states will not tolerate this mocking.

.......said Vice-Principal Jesse Twitman. “It’s an act of disrespect and defiance toward school authority. If there’s anything that the ‘zero tolerance’ policy is meant to achieve it is unwavering respect for authority by the students at this school.”

I understand by seeing the link posted that this is meant to be satire........
Saddly......
On certain threads we read here at FR........
We all know the "PC" crowd is out of control....

It's just "too true to be good".....
To borrow a phrase........

Vice-Principal Jesse Twitman

Twitman. Says it all. I wonder if making fun of his name falls under "unacceptable mockery".

Were screwed.....Schools are making a mockery of everything....we are in three wars and they are worried about an amusing stunt that hurt no one. I would get a lawyer and say that “we were going to put it on our lunch.”
