So.... what do you think about this kid in Stafford who ran onto the football field in a banana suit? He was suspended for disrupting a football game by running onto the field during half time wearing a banana suit.

What punishment would you have given? (Besides splitting him in half and covering him with ice cream and a cherry. )

Did the kid have a split personality?

suspension is overkill. I would hate to be a kid nowadays. The schools now are more concerned about control ,conformity and cya. My kid was in kindergarden and pulled a girls skirt down. They wanted to get the police involved!!

According to a report on WJLA's newscast late this afternoon, in addition to a 10-day suspension, the school system is actually considering expelling him. Ridiculous -- I guess the Stafford County school board is in dire need of a double dose of Metamucil.

They have to expel him--so they can stem this type of behavior.

When it said suspension I thought it was a 1 or 2 day suspension which is not that much of a deal and I consider an understandably firm punishment. Now 10 days? Over the line for sure.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; schools these days are better preparing our kids more for prison than the working world.

Just to put this in perspective, does anyone remember Sen. Alan Simpson? Scroll down to the section titled "Run-ins with the law":

Alan K. Simpson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Or a little closer to home:

Perhaps the kid has a future in the U.S. Senate.

How do you disrupt a football game during halftime?
