The New Haven school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a district-wide school wellness policy, said school spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo. Said with no evidence that she was conscious of her own absurdity in stating it.
Btw, if we get socialized medicine, brace for the impact of nationwide restrictions on candy. I'm just sayin'....

Kid should claim his religion requires him to eat Skittles. Funny that there is no rule against selling candy, only buying it.

DeCarlo?? I wonder if she's related to Yvonne?

Soon we’ll have to buy all of our junk food on the black market.

20 years ago at my public school (this in 8th grade), they would crack down (literally) if you brought candy or gum to class. If you were caught with it, you got two licks (and I don’t mean of the tongue variety). You could hear a pin drop every time they took a kid in the hallway as we’d listen for the loud “THWACK !” Yee-oww ! Nobody ever returned without the tears streaming down their face... The teachers never missed their mark.

That also reminds me, our #1 contraband back in the mid ‘80s was dealing in “Now and Later’s” (remember those ?) and cinnamon-dipped toothpicks. Why we thought of those as delicacies, I have no idea...

I can see the Gambino family recruiting youngsters to “distribute” said black market goods.

“school spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo.”
Hi. I’m Catherine Sullivan -(and these severed genitals I hold in my hand are ‘DeCarlo’.)

Candy causes hyperactivity and we need calm in the classroom during Homosexual Indoctrination.

A warning and a detention would have been appropriate.
The only message that this sends to other students is that there are no perks to being a good performer.

It’s worse than you think. I understand the child paid for the candy in a series of transactions to evade the school limit on cash transfers over one dollar. First a postal money order for 25 cents, then a wire for 50 cents and then a quarter was left on a table near the candy pusher. Then he paid for the pusher’s train fare from NYC to New Haven, so now it is a federal matter. I’m glad they caught him before he became a hardened criminal or the Governor of a neighboring state.

This kid has just received an object lesson in how government regulation interferes with free enterprise.

Has there ever been a time when chewing gum or trading candy was allowed in school? I recall kids getting sent to the principles office back in the ‘50s and early ‘60s.
