So, if the kid had been selling broccoli, he’d be OK.

Government schools are evil.

How many innocent Skittles must die?? Close the candy sale loophole!!

[Polynikes]

The Central Committee must be ever vigilant against counterrevolutionary thought and deed. The welfare of the proletariat is at stake and no bourgeoisie capitalist doctrine is to be tolerated. These lackeys of the power brokers start with Skittles and infect the children with their neo-con ideas that infect the collective /sarc

[quark]

Of course, selling these items in all the school bathrooms is A-OK!

Michael Sheridan was candy client #9.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

So in CT they illegally close legitimate businesses for staying open too late and kick kids out of school for buying candy. Which is worse? CT or MA?

[Jack Hammer]

Evidently, candy is still available at school despite the rules; common sense, however, is utterly unavailable.

Incredible.. the school heads should be so proud. (pass the Milk Duds)

[Red Steel]

Michael Sheridan ...and suspended for a day after buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate.

Did the classmate get suspended too or can students bring candy to school without violating the stupid rule?

Whether your kids are in public school, private school, or homeschooled, or even if you have no kids of school age, there is a lesson here. Please vote thoughtfully whenever your local school board is elected.

I'm a teacher. I work for those people, and it's nice to have sensible people in that job. It's also good for those kids who are subject to school board policies. Remember, on election day, vote early ... and if you're a democrat I guess you'll vote often too.

Mark Levin had a good rant on this at the start of his show this afternoon.

[Phineas1962]

As C.S.Lewis once said:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

[purpleraine]

Nice to see the schools cracking down on serious crime.

All in all it’s just another brick in the Wall.

Hey! Teacher! Leave those kids alone!

I think this does fall under “Dark Sarcasm in the Classroom”.

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?

[Rastus]

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.
