When school officials say zero tolerance for drugs, what they really mean is zero tolerance for something that might be mistaken for drugs by someone who doesn’t really know his aspirin from a hole in the ground.
AOL News has the tale of zero tolerance for intelligence:
Seventh-grader Adam Grass and three other students at Hickory Middle School in Chesapeake, Va., were suspended last week after being caught with what teachers initially thought was a bag of marijuana but turned out to be a stash of oregano, The Virginian-Pilot reports.
Unfortunately for the disciplined boys, now facing expulsion, there isn’t much of a difference between Italian herbs and Mary Jane, at least in the state’s eyes. According to school board member Christie Craig, Virginia has a zero-tolerance policy against “imitation controlled substances.”
Mary Jane? Nice use of slang that no one has used since the 60s, AOL News. This will certainly go a long way toward convincing people that you’re still bitchin’ and groovy.
