How much stupider can school bureaucracy get? Let’s expel every kid that farts. :rolleyes: By the end of the day the whole school would be empty. Then nobody gets an education. While they are at it, why not fire the Principal when he cuts the cheese? 😛 > [@](#): > > This time, officials at Canal Winchester Middle School decided it was an obscene gesture that violated the student code of conduct. > **[Passing gas gets boys kicked off school bus](https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2011/05/passing_gas_gets_boys_kicked_o.html)** > > The boys apparently were considered repeat offenders because a driver had warned them after a similar indiscretion weeks ago.

I’m betting that the “other side of the story” is that they were taking great pride in farting and grossing out the girls. If they were being intentional about it and being obnoxious brats, they got what they deserved. Either way, someone’s making a big stink about it. ---

It would’ve been more appropriate if instead of a middle school, this had happened at an alimentary school. ---

It was a rare week when my school bus didn’t get gassed at least once. Several of my classmates were quite stealthy. 😃 ---

Your title is dishonest and misleading. They did not get expelled; they were suspended from riding the bus for 1 day. Those two things are so different that the real story bears virtually no relation to your mischaracterization of it. ---

That’s one heck of a way of putting emission controls on school buses. ---

Suspension was the same as expelling when I went to school. > [@mhendo](#): > > Your title is dishonest and misleading. > > They did not get expelled; they were suspended from riding the bus for 1 day. > > Those two things are so different that the real story bears virtually no relation to your mischaracterization of it. ---

This is the direct result of the healthier lunches they want the kids to eat, don’t you know. You can’t make kids eat broccoli and cabbage and then NOT get this kind of result! But now, as a result of that link, I am aware that there are rabid bats just a few miles away… ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Suspension was the same as expelling when I went to school. So both meant that you were kicked out permanently, or that you were kicked out for a period of time? I’m guessing the latter. How long ago and where was this? ---
