Sorry, but this needed it's own thread...

Michael Sheridan was stripped of his title as class vice president, barred from attending an honors student dinner and suspended for a day after buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate...

The New Haven school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a districtwide school wellness policy, said school spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo.

Shelli Sheridan, Michael's mother, told the New Haven Register that he is a top student with no previous disciplinary problems.

I agree with that. He should be buying drugs like the rest of the class.

Mark Lavin was going bezerk over this last night and even gave out the phone number for the district's PR office. He asked people to call, be polite, and ask them why they were being so stupid. Apparently it all had some effect, because as of this morning the school district reversed itself on the entire thing.

whoa whoa whoa....wait just a minute here. I FULLY support that school district's decision to punish that student. Don't you know that candy can ruin a person's life? Haven't you read the studies?!
Gotta run...my son's high school just got it's state funded condoms delivered and I need to make sure he gets his allotment!

It's in violation of their wellness policy. What a joke. I wonder if anyone has tested the lunches they serve for fat and salt levels. You know that government cheese is really heathy for you to eat.

I was expecting a punchline like " Candy is a sixteen year old cheerleader."

I think it's all the drugs that the officals did when they were in school that makes them come up with these dumb rules.
