Nine (9) Examples Of The New Stupidity

Haul the kid off in cuffs, expel her, and charge her with a felony. That'll teach her not to do science experiments on school property.

Kiera Wilmot got good grades and had a perfect behavior record. She wasn't the kind of kid you'd expect to find hauled away in handcuffs and expelled from school, but that's exactly what happened after an attempt at a science project went horribly wrong.

On 7 a.m. on Monday, the 16 year-old mixed some common household chemicals in a small 8 oz water bottle on the grounds of Bartow High School in Bartow, Florida. The reaction caused a small explosion that caused the top to pop up and produced some smoke. No one was hurt and no damage was caused.

Maybe the death penalty.

I read a couple articles about this. It's completely fucked up. The principal is even saying she's a good kid who was doing a science experiment. These zero tolerance policies are really a bad idea.

They are charging her as an adult. If this doesn't get fixed before it gets out of control, it will fuck up her life.

I categorically disagree. Look how effective the zero tolerance policies were during the war on drugs, and the prohibition on bringing guns to school.
