More on stupid zero tolerance

Okay, what do you call Jell-O shots with no alcohol?

The answer is “Jell-O”.

In Jefferson Parish, Louisiana an 8-year-old gets suspended for bringing Jell-O to school. She brought enough for the entire class so it wasn’t because she didn’t bring enough to share because she brought thirty individual containers of the snack. No, the reason she was suspended was because the containers she was serving them in resembled the Jell-O shots you can get in some bars.

The girl was suspended for nine days for two violations of the system’s drug policy: having a “look-alike” drug on school grounds and intending to distribute it, Nowakowski said.

I wonder what Bill Cosby has to say about this?

Reason Number 54728 for This Anti-Drug Crusader Being Against The War On Drugs.

This is bullshit. I don’t care what you think of Rush Limbaugh personally, our drug laws are in place to dissuade people from using drugs. Rush Limbaugh sought out treatment for his addiction so he has shown that he knows he has a problem. You don’t add legal problems to a persons drug problems when they are actively seeking help for that problem.
