Do the crime, do the time
Limited Edition Carnival Skittles, originally uploaded by honeymilk petals.
Candy is nothing but a perfidious influence on America's youth, and the New Haven School District is seeking to eradicate it. As an honor student found out, ignorance of the law is not an excuse:
Michael Sheridan was stripped of his title as class vice president, barred from attending an honors student dinner and suspended for a day after buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate.
School spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo says the New Haven school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a districtwide school wellness policy.
Michael's suspension has been reduced from three days to one, but he has not been reinstated as class vice president.
He says he didn't realize his candy purchase was against the rules -- although he did notice the student selling the Skittles on February 26 was being secretive.
