THE DRUG WARS || ANNALS OF THE ABSURDpix credit: Clay-Chalkville High School, 2004 --v
High School Girl Takes Motrin / Gets Punished by School for Drug Use | This would be funny if it weren't true | Seems that the Clay-Chalkville [Alabama] High School "Zero-Tolerance" rules on drug use forbid taking an over the counter pain medication, even for helping relieve the pain of menstrual cramps | So Judge Houston L. Brown has to decide whether or not Ms. Dawna Hill, a Jefferson County school board hearing officer is proper in demanding the 15 year old be sentenced to a school for kids with behavioral problems |
The
school's website claims that Clay-Clarkville is
"A community of learners committed to helping students reach their potential in academic and extracurricular endeavors"
However, the website lacks information on who does what at the school and their page on "Guidance" is blank | Seems somebody ought to be sentencing Ms. Hill for rank stupidity ~ at the very least | After that, how about questioning the wisdom of the school administration for allowing this farce to happen | I'm afraid to ask what the quality of educational efforst might be at that school |
My sympathies to the young woman [Ysatis Jones] who has to put up with the crap |
Thanks to Zero Intelligence and TigerHawk for bringing this up |
