Zero tolerance hits all time extreme idiocy

[Sharon]

Renard is your typical 16-year-old. A "B" student, he's in school chorus, and spends most of his free time on his computer. When Jenkins High campus police called his name for a random drug check, he didn't think twice.

When police searched Renard's bag, they found some books and papers, all the normal stuff a kid who goes to school would have. They did not find any drugs but suspended Renard and charged him with passive participation.

Something stinks

What in the blue crap is "Passive Participation"? If I was this kid's parent, I would have someone's head on a stick.


Could be the dogs smelled the remnants of a bologna sammich from yesterday? This is outright ludicrous.

From the information that was presented in the article it does sound bogus, but you never know if the kid had was in trouble before. There may have been additional information that the paper did not disclose.

dur...

Renard's mom, Lanore Smith... She says her son has never had a problem in school. "They can check his record. He is a good kid."

I wouldn't care if he was the school's biggest druggie. If they found NOTHING on him he shouldn't be suspended.

There was one important fact that was disclosed.

He had nothing on him, except a lingering aroma that could have come from any one of a million places.


He could have put his bookbag on the ground where a stoner tapped ashes last week. His bookbag could have sat next to a stoner's bookbag on the bus and picked up the scent from it.

He was innocent, and they suspended him anyway. That's the only relevant information, regardless of how much trouble he's been in before - if any.

I understand, i'm just playing the other side.... I have seen the mothers that they interviewed on TV before claiming the same thing about their 'little boy' who just shot and killed someone too. Based on the article though, it appears they were a little too jumpy.

This is almost as good as the kid who was suspended because he criticized the school on his personal web page (not a school related web page but one made from his home computer). Or the one where the school tried to force a bunch of girls to get pregnancy and std tests before allowing them back in school because they skipped school to go to a party.
