So you agree with a school policy prohibiting look-alike drugs

Robertpaulsen,

I doubt than any private school ( other than a drug rehab) would have called the police and hauled the kid off to the police station.

I do not approve of drug look-alikes in any school private or government.

Neither do I approve of hauling a kid off to the police station for the first offense. A stern talk from the principal would likely been enough but I recognize that principals was in a legal box (created by political bullies) and had no other option.

Government schools are like this. The biggest political bully gets to impose its will on other people's children by way of nutty laws.

Solution: Get your kid out of that nut house. Lobby like crazy to privatize universal K-12 education.

We will never reform government schools precisely because they are and always will be responsive to the whims of the biggest political bullies.

Given the state statute, the principal at a private school would be in the same legal box.
