Be careful what you put in your mouth

CLINTON - Two Clinton High School students who engaged in oral sex in school were suspended until Friday, while a student caught with tobacco for a third time was expelled for a year.

Big difference. The blower swollowed, while the tobacco user spit juice all over the ground, leaving more to clean up.

 

One is a drug.

 

I think it's funny because when I was in high school, we got 10 minutes between classes so the students could go out back to the designated smoking areas to smoke. After my senior year, it stopped because someone finally caught on that while you had to be 18 to smoke, they were giving 14-year-olds smoke breaks.

I've never been a smoker, but I certainly would have taken an oral sex break in high school. ;D

 

One thing to think about, though, is suspending a student for a year going to make that student a better person?

Was the can of dip or pack of smokes causing any real potential danger to fellow students?

The year suspension for smokes is crazy. Give them a week.
Booze? One week.
Pot? Two weeks (I know, I know)

Meth? 365 days
Herion? 365 days
Coke? 365 days
A knife? 365 days
A gun? forever
