An 8 year old boy was suspended from his grade school for sniffing marker fumes off his jacket. Yes, marker fumes.
Destroy all the markers! Think of the children!
Now, it's possible that I do not have the best interests of the youth of our country in mind, but doesn't this seem a bit over the top? First of all, an 8 year old boy can barely tie his shoes yet (we weren't all super geniuses), let alone know he's dabbling in dangerous narcotics. Secondly, when did huffing marker fumes become dangerous to kids health?
Did the boy learn his lesson?
"It smelled good," Harris said. "They told me that's wrong."
Sounds effective to me. Despite, the doctor's assurance that it cannot get you high, the principal continued in his outrage:
"Principals make hundreds of decisions everyday based on our best judgment. And in that time, smelling that marker, I felt like, 'Wow, that's a very serious marker,'" Benisch said.
Despite the medical evidence, Benisch promised to draw an even clearer line on markers.
"We've purged every permanent marker there is in this building," he said.
What did markers ever do to this guy? Maybe he should worry about purging possible weapons or drugs or something that seems like it could pose a more dangerous threat to the kids. Sharpie markers? Somehow, I don't imagine it leads down a dark path to drug addiction and health problems, but again...what do i know?

I went through bottle after bottle of white-out in 6th grade and it has yet to lead to a path of drug addiction. Well, illegal drug addiction. I have become quite attached to my Allegra-D. And technically my Xanax stash was prescribed, just not to me.
good afternoon everyone. I'm honestly into shoes and I was digging as far as something that particular model. The prices for the velcros are about 300 pounds on every page. But definitively I set this location selling them someone is concerned half price. I absolutely like those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably purchase them. what can you tell me about these?
