STUDENT SUSPENDED FOR TYLENOL

Debra here. A Chancellor, VA student has been suspended for possessing two Tylenol on school grounds. During a recent school drug bust ("... a normal event in almost every high school across America"), student Rachel Warrick was found to have two Tylenol tablets in her possession. Thanks to the miracle of "No Tolerance", she was suspended for 5 days.

One anonymous teacher is quoted as saying:

"Regardless of reason or innocence, these procedures for administering medication at school were established for a reason and must be followed. Without such safeguards, teachers would be held responsible for identifying pills. I, for one, do not want to be held responsible for the high risks associated with bending this policy."

Golly, no, teach. It's much better to suspend students willy-nilly.
