As many on here know I used to work parole and probation. For years my entire caseload was 25 and under. I got a call from a school admin. one day telling me I had to rush over to the local HS because they found "contraband" on one of my probationers. I drive over to the school, blowing off a court hearing, to find the contraband was some midol. After an hour and half meeting it was decided she should be suspended for three weeks because midol is not only contraband but also, gasp!, a drug. I argued and argued to no avail "She's on her period, she's having cramps, this medication is OTC and has no value other then it's intended use... YOU PEOPLE ARE ACTING CRAZY!"
Never underestimate the mind numbing stupidity of a room full of administrators. Some of these "zero tolerance" policies should really be relabeled "zero intelligence."
