By the end of the day, 25 of the students, ages 11 to 15, had been rounded up, arrested, taken from school and put in jail. A spokesman for the Chicago police said the charges were reckless conduct, a misdemeanor.

They should replace Physical Ed with a solid hour of food fights. Kids would get along much better, and maybe eat a vegetable.

Reeeeeeeeediculous...........are they kidding us or what....25 arrest over a food fight.....come on!!

Arresting students for non-violent misconduct is wrong plain and simple.
-
Law enforcement in this country is appalling:
Tasering students on campus for being uncooperative in non-violent ways,
students getting beaten up or arrested for misdemeanors, and now -
getting arrested for having a food fight in school? These are kids behaving their age... not criminals running from a robbery or murder scene.

Send 'em to Gitmo.
