Skittles gets kid in trouble

Ok.. so tell me if this is ridiculous. An 8th grader gets suspended, his VP class honor taken away from him, and is no longer recognized as an honors student because he bought a bag of Skittles in school from a friend. Are you KIDDING!? Ok.. so the school had a ban on candy as part of a wellness policy. The kid shouldn't have candy in school; I get it. But SUSPENDED!? What is WRONG with this world? Give him detention. It's SKITTLES... not a gun.

Speaking of ridiculous things that schools have been doing recently, I read an article that some school are banning the game "tag" from recess. Parents have complained that their child is considered an "it" while playing the game. Also, they were complaining about their children are being chased. They should be happy that their kids are being physically active during their recess and having fun.
