| Subject: Who’s High? A School Suspends a Student for Bloodshot Eyes Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:33 pm | |
| In Trophy Club, Texas, 16-year-old Kyler Robertson chose to attend classes just two days after his father was stabbed to death. His mother had urged the grief-stricken boy to stay home, according to a report on the local Fox News station, but Kyler said he wanted the comfort of his friends. Administrators at Byron Nelson High School didn’t let the boy stay on campus for long. Because of his irritated eyes and, they claimed, the smell of marijuana on his clothes, school officials said they suspected Kyler of using marijuana and sent him home Tuesday with a three-day suspension. The school said it would lift the suspension within two hours if Kyler passed a drug test — which he did. SOURCE: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]So, they "smelled" marijuana, yet he passed the drug test (which he should have never taken in my opinion). So, if it wasn't marijuana they smelled, then what was it? Was this "dirty tactics" being employed by school administrators so that they could push their agenda? I don't know if this student has any legal recourse, but if it were me, I would sue the pants off this school district and file a defamation law suit against those that claimed to have smelled the marijuana. | |
