Hmm. She could have walked into the bathroom at my school and smelled like smoke the rest of the day.
You don't have to be a smoker to smell like one. Besides, He grabbed her shirt and smelled her hair?! That's borderline if you ask me. I know if I did that at work it'd be called sexual harrassment. |

It's also called assault. Unwanted touching of any sort constitutes assault if I remember right. |

Cripes, if they suspended people for smelling of smoke I'd have been suspended too... I don't even smoke but I had to walk through clouds of it to get to the doors of my high school.
Come to think of it, they would have had to suspend my entire school... |

I heard about this on the radio yesterday, and the radio station had a bunch of listeners call in. Some were outraged, some said she deserved it. However, one lady who was a member of the school board said something like "parents now expect the school to take care of their children, and if the smoking problem is not fixed, the school could be liable for not taking action". I was like WTF? And then I realized: most people are as sheep as they come, and they want the school to take responsibility for their children, yet are outraged when they punish them, and so the schools come back with the ploy that they are just going to punish all or none...Stupid stupid stupid. Its a vicious circle.
My stance on this: she should not have been suspended unless she was caught actually smoking on campus. Circumstantial evidence, last I checked, is still not good enough to convict in a court of law; it should be no different on school campuses. |

If he did that to my daughter, yes. I'd stick it in and break it off. Mother fucker would be facing criminal and civil charges. And if he were man enough, he'd meet me in the parking lot to take his ass whipping like a man. |

I hope they didn't mark off any paperwork about her with red pen... could hurt her self esteem.
+1 for some kind of charge from the touching. I couldn't imagine knowing someone touched my daughter... gonna need some willpower to prevent an asskicking. - BG |

Dayum.
When I was in high school a kid got caught with a bag and the vice principle simple "confiscated" it and gave him a week of detention. Drinking after hunting at lunch, well, they call the cops and walk you out in handcuffs (yeah, that'd be me). Things have changed alot in 15 years... |

I was smoking in my high school's parking lot, and walked right by a cop. He just told me to put it out, and not to do it on school property. This was only 3 years ago.

She should've told the administrator, "Hey I wasn't smoking, but everyone else in the bar was."

AP got it wrong.
According to the local news, the kid admitted to smoking, but then denied admitting to it later. Scott |

You are in Illinois. Same as Kali or NYC. At least they don't hang you on the 50yd line. (that is probably next) "Normal States" (check latest electoral vote map): Parents raise their kids, not the system. |

Dam how things have changed. When I was in high school we actually had a smoking area where anyone was allowed to smoke before school, lunch, and in between classes. That was twenty years ago.

Both of my parents smoked like chimenys when I was in school, and when I'd get a ride to school with the neighbor kids, the parent that was driving us also smoked a cigar. After stepping out of a smoke-filled car, I bet we all smelled like tobacco!

My issue isn't really with her smoking in school or suspension for it.
I got caught smoking in HS several times. Punishements got steeper as the number of incidents get higher. I didn't really care and never lied about it. "Were you smoking in there?" teacher. "You bet your ass I was. Why you want to bum one?" Anyway, my concern was him touching her. That isn't right. I don't give a damn what he suspected her of. |

It won't be for smelling like it. It will be when they swab their backpacks before going into the school - after they make them remove their shoes - and find trace residue from the last trip to the range. Schools have "zero-tolerance" policies to remove from the administrations the responsibility to THINK. If they come up with a "zero-tolerance" policy, they do not have to use their brains for anything important. |

Burden of proof is lies upon the principal to PROVE she was smoking. If he can't prove it, it is a BS suspension.
