ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A 13-year-old was handcuffed and hauled off to a juvenile detention for burping in class, according to a lawsuit filed against an Albuquerque school principal, a teacher and school police officer.

The boy was transported without his parents being notified in May after he "burped audibly" in PE class and his teacher called a school resource officer to complain he was disrupting her class.

The lawsuit also details a separate Nov. 8 incident when the same student was forced to strip down to his underwear while five adults watched as he was accused of selling pot to another student; the boy was never charged.

Schools were told "ZERO TOLERANCE".
Now you define what that means because it seems every teacher out there is defining it in their own way.

Oh to be sure. I'm sure this was not an all-A honor roll kid.
Might have been the culmination of many other incidents that we'll never know about.

"...his teacher called a school resource officer..." says it all.
