From Wikipedia: On April 23, 2007 the Northwest Independent School District named their second high school Byron Nelson High School. This is the first high school named in honor of Byron Nelson, and opened in the fall of 2009. The school is located in Trophy Club, Texas, near Nelson’s hometown of Roanoke.[

and we send our children to these hell holes.

If he was tested by an independent lab then I would agree that he did not smoke pot.

The surviving parent was required to have him tested within two hours.

It's in the article.

I'm sure she did it at lab she owns and controls, aren't you?

. This is not passing my smell test.

Well, the kid passed the drug test...

INSANITIES FROM HELL IN TYRANNICAL RULE OVER OUR CHILDREN.

GOD HAVE MERCY ON ALL WHO LOVE GOD AND OUR LAND.

The important thing is their INTENTIONS.

The actual results are not important, because they are Lefties.

The state is a machine with no heart and no brain. They do not care about anything and they abuse with the extraordinary power we have given them. The state is always wanting to grow into a nuke power plant; the people are supposed to put the hammer on it, keeping it within the boundries of a primative camp fire.

We have to cut the governments like bats out of hell. We can do it in the name of and power of the constitution. Every community has to organize to do this to every government machine in existence.

Yeah, in addition to having bloodshot eyes, they said he "smelled of marijuana". Since the urine test came back negative, I'm thinking they were trying screw this kid as hard as they could.

I don't think a simple apology is sufficient. They tried to ruin this kids future. It's inexcusable.

Simple fact answers the above question: The education department is the habitat for the bottom 10% of the IQ spectrum in universities.

It is said that 120th Street in New York City's Morningside Heights is the widest street in the world--it separates Columbia Teachers College from the rest of Columbia University.

It makes perfect sense for him to want to keep to his regular schedule. Staying busy is a time-honored way of dealing with grief. He was also avoiding all the funeral stuff at home.

[BenKenobi]

Yep, I did the same myself when my father passed on. Kept on working for the first week, and then resigned after the funeral.

[TASMANIANRED]

Sue them.

You forgot the transfer from Engineering to Business. Lots of my classmates did that at Purdue. Most are probably making more money than I am now.

Also I would put PreMed first and PreLaw after Engineering. Depending on the Science it could be put ahead of PreMed (especially Physics).

I'll second that - I went to a private school thru ‘most’ of 7th grade - then off to public.

I believe I had a better education by 7th grade than most of the public HS ‘graduates. And this from back in the day before the FedGov became the 800 lb gorilla..

This can’t be real. Is there really anyone out there who is this incredibly stupid?

[Cu Roi]

If the school thinks he did drugs, then it is their responsibility to prove it. I suppose they could have asked the parent for permission to take a test under their controlled environment, but chose not to and left it up to the parent instead. I guess administering drug tests isn't in their union contract.

The inability or unwillingness of the school to prove it's thesis should not reflect poorly on the kid.
