8th Grader Criminaly Charged

I was watching the 10 o’clock news tonight and seen something that made me laugh…

A middle school student at Morton Middle School in Lexington Ky has been charged with “felony wanton endangerment” because this student put cookie crumbs in another student’s lunch box!

uuummm… What?!? Yes thats right, this 8th Grader is now facing felony charges over cookie crumbs! But, these are not just any cookie crumbs these crumbs are from a cookie containing peanuts, which apparently this other child happens to be allergic to.

A spokeswoman for the middle school named Lisa Deffendall was quoted saying “It was well known that the other student suffered allergies” and also said “There was no known history of problems between the two 13-year-olds.”

So lets make sure we have the facts straight:
1: An 8th grader is being charges with felony because of cookie crumbs placed inside another students lunch box.
2: This other student has commonly known allergies.
3: Last, but not least, there are no known problems between these two 8th graders.

Since when has it ever been possible to turn cookie crumbs into a felony? Considering the other student did not eat the cookie crumbs and there was no allergic reaction, doesn’t the public school system have anything better to worry about? Like maybe the future of the other hundreds of students currently enrolled in the Lexington Ky. school system.

Instead of hearing about new educational goals in the curriculum or new programs to advance the learning of our nations future leaders I’m hearing about cookie crumbs! There is so much going on in the world today, but when I turn on the 10 o’clock news I hear reports about cookie crumbs in a middle school! I feel like precious moments of my life have now been wasted by watching news! Which brings me back to my most famous saying: “Stupid people piss me off!” But at least I can say that I have learned something new: cookie crumbs = felony when used in an improper manner.

Who knows, maybe congress will pass a new law forcing cookie company’s to place a warning label on there containers saying: “Do not used crumbs in any manner other than directed” or something like that.
