I suppose pegged black jeans, Porta Rican fence climbers and a white tee with a pack of luckies rolled up in the sleeve is out of the question?
Switch blades a no no eh? Man, dullsville.
Probably don’t allow gambling in the boys rooms either haha.
There is a name for schools like this LAME.
I’m sure at least some of the girls put out, well maybe like one?

Or that whole founding of a nation thing or that ‘fugitive slave’ and aiding the underground railroad deal or resisting Nazi rule in Vichy France or resisting the rules in any communist or fascist country.

This is bigotry of the highest order. Their rule basically denies people like this the right to even exist:

I guess common sense is not so common.

They should have claimed that these were birth control pills.

Instead of a suspension one of them would have gotten student of the year.

Sell the birth control pills inside of a condom and get a scholarship to the local U.

The children are considered to be property of the state so when they violate their “wellness” it’s considered to be a crime against the state.

The basic idea is to take good students down a peg. Just check and you’ll see that in most of these cases of egregious overpunishment, it’s good students being victimised.

Dig a little deeper, and you may find that, in the cases of egregious over-punishment, the students are mostly white. The schools are under pressure to have discipline be racially proportionate.
