    Student suspended for buying Skittles at school

    NEW HAVEN, Connecticut (AP) -- Contraband candy has led to big trouble for an eighth-grade honors student in Connecticut.

    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.

    School spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo says the New Haven school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a districtwide school wellness policy.

    Michael's suspension has been reduced from three days to one, but he has not been reinstated as class vice president.

    He says he didn't realize his candy purchase was against the rules -- although he did notice the student selling the Skittles on February 26 was being secretive.

    Back when I was in school they were selling crack and bud. What happened to our youth?

    Did they punish him by telling him they are very angry with him? Then they sent him home to go play Halo on PS3 in his 3-story house?

    Meh, doesn't have the same ring. :(

    I say he deserved the punishment. He should have known better and the rule was there before he became President, so more power to the LAW. Book'im, Dano. :eek:

    In other "silly rules" news, a mother in chicago faces a year in jail for leaving her sleeping toddler in the car for a few minutes while she walked a few yards away in the sleet to help her two other children contribute to the salvation army.

    Cops. :mad:

    Why would anyone leave their child alone, in a locked car, in a wal-mart parking lot?? I don't think she deserves jail time or a large fine, but thats just a bad idea.

    Really? It sounds like a good idea to me. Leave a sleeping kid in a warm car, or wake him up, take him out into some cold sleet, so you can be sure to have an eye on him for every second of every day of your life?

    Tasting the rainbow is still illegal in some states.

    It's best to nip this in the bud.
