School Suspends Boy for Bloodshot Eyes

Everything sucks more in Texas.

That's some messed up sh*t.

fucking Texas ignorance, this is seriously disgraceful of them!

as i continually say: i apologize to all who think this state is in some kind of unprogressive, ideologically warped bubble.

oh wait...it still is, only if you're a politician or not in the big cities. SHIT!!!

Was this in Texas or another southern State?? These people need to evolve or get out of teaching... all together!

Sounds like way to much control with lack of rational judgment being exercised in this circumstance.

Some of these schools have turned almost into jails in which students only go to be treated like thugs. The kids "must" be having sex, doing drugs and breaking the law they imagine, so they fill the school with cameras and implement strict zero tolerance rules for everything.

This environment of course, creates students who come to hate authority in all its types, thus leading to a self fulfilling prophecy.

Please whatever you do don't let anybody see stumble on ah rock or trip over one cause then your what ????? huh ?????

God forbid if he had HAY FEVER ,,,,,, Damn who are these people ? Seem they can't see the forest ,,,,,forget the trees !

Trophy Club, TX? People just love to stereotype themselves.

the story is from faux... how valid is it...

And that is why it's always best to jump to conclusions.

We live in a "damned if you do/damned if you don't" world right now, where if any little thing goes wrong anyone involved is accused of not being vigilant enough, but when inevitably some innocent gets treated like they did something wrong we all jump on their backs.

The school admin didn't think it through and the nurse has no clue about pot use, but their actions are the result of our highly polarized and critical culture.

Shouldn't have happened, but it is to be expected.

I made the mistake of swimming for an hour before work and looking under water without goggles. For my entire shift, my eyes were extremely irritated and blood red. I certainly wouldn't want to get fired based on bloodshot eyes, alone.

Schools are getting dumber than the fucking students, and if the teachers are the ones being taught, like what being high really looks like, its no wonder we have a lower literacy rate the Japan.

It comes from Faux News. ...can it really be trusted.
It seems like they only go after "stories" that provoke an emotional response.

Logically - if the nurse "smelled" the boy, and he "smelled" like marijuana, then they should have suspended him. That smell doesn't come from anywhere else.
It's pretty unmistakable....unless the Nurse had a Cold that day.

This is ridiculous! Insane! By personal experience, this really is how American high school is now. Heartless, worthless, and crude. High schools are nothing but diploma factories, and most teachers are nothing but factory workers employed to sort out the students they deem to be "defective" and toss them into the rubbish pile.

No one should delude themselves into believing that high schools and most of their staff care about education, feelings, aspirations, and success. They only want to keep attendance rates up and awareness levels down.

My heart goes out to Kyler Robertson and his family.

Would a grieving girl be suspended from school as this boy was?

Child abuse!

I would bring the school up on charges of some kind. Not sure what or how but I would have them bastards in court. They would at least pay for the drug test.

The school had every right.

Itchy trigger fingers from the school. What if some kid comes walking in with allergies? I used to get really bad bloody noses from my allergies when I was a kid. Glad nobody thought I was snorting crack.

This is newsworthy how?

This story really pisses me off that a school would do this to a young man grieving the loss of his father. How horrible.

wow theres kids at my school who have white lines in red eyes and they dont get called down to the office

"You're fathered got murdered? Well, those kind of problems seem big when your young but that's no reason to resort to smoking marijuana! What would your father say?"

Cold. Spineless and cold.

WOW i wouldn't even make him take the test.

that poor family. id be so livid if that happened to me, id sue them.

I fell bad for the kid, as if he does not have enough grieving the loss of his parent.

Jerks

Absolutely shameful behavior on the part of the school, but not surprising in the era of "zero tolerance"...

sue'em
