This headline caught my eye from Lynn Walsh at the Texas Watchdog: "Third-grader wasn't violating state rules when she accepted a Jolly Rancher at school; Brazos County girl had gotten detention for possessing candy: KHOU."
So the third grader didn't violate state rules, but the real question is, "Did the school violate any?" One would hope. Read the whole post, which contains several other recent examples of school-discipline overkill.

Yeah. This is why I home school.
