I'm just reading this story now, and it sounds crazy, but I can understand how it might've played out:
Based on the story, I don't believe the kid was really bringing sugar into school for a science experiment. Do any of you? I remember kids in school selling bags of oregano or sometimes grass (from the ground) to other kids as "pot". This boy might've been trying to pass sugar off as cocaine and sell it to some unsuspecting kids. If so, yes, charging him with a felony is way too severe, but I could see how some form of punishment like suspension should be issued. (Flame away). :-)

No flames. That is a valid point. And we honestly don't know.
But I can't help but think of the wording from the Mandatory School Lunch program. That is why my thoughts went that way.
Huh? Actually, I believe it could have been for a water solution science experiment.
