Lesson learned? Anger an agent of government and you'll be kidnapped (jailed), chained (handcuffed and shackled),confined (house arrest), have money stolen from you(fined) and shamed (paraded around for all to see).

And they are talking about expelling these students and ruining their future for a friggen food fight? Why kind of inanity has taken hold in this country. Yesterday there was an article about a kid expelled for a tweet he made from home at 2:30 in the friggen morning? Utter hogwash.

I have been in the midst of a few good food fights in my days. What the hell ever happened to making the ones in it clean it up afterwards and a day's detention? Lord have mercy on my children as they can't even be kids anymore in today's insane world.

It's "zero tolerance" folks. Nothing, absolutely nothing is tolerated.
Break any rule and it's full blown "the book" is thrown at you.

This is what we wanted in the schools. Now we have it and many don't like it much but there's nothing we can do about it now.

Gun-run(government) schools suck. Let's do what Rick Perry said and eliminate the department of Education, the Department of Commerce and the...oops.

I bet those kids wish they were George Zimmerman. Stand Your ground works when tossing Sloppy Joes and square pizza slices too.

What on earth did they charge them with?!

Pummeling the Pomegrantes?
Ostracizing the Olives?
Groping the Grapes?
Lewdness with the Lettuce?
Trampling the Tomatoes?
Brutalizing the Bread?

Sorry folks, it's just been another awesome day which I'm undeserving of, and I'm on the downside of another hurdle that I've haphazardly hopped and unwinding unabashedly.

Okay, okay! I'll stop and be good..watch! you'll seee....

Of course, had these kids been black, y'all would be calling for their lifelong incarceration by now. Or worse.
