Stamford (Conn.) Advocate:

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A New Haven middle school honors student, suspended for buying candy from a classmate, will have the discipline expunged from his record, the superintendent of schools said Wednesday night.

Michael Sheridan also 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 last month from a classmate.

Michael Sheridan said he didn’t realize his candy purchase was against the rules, but he noticed the student selling the Skittles on Feb. 26 was being secretive.

An administrator busted Michael with the candy in his pocket. His mother says the student who sold him the Skittles out of a lunch box also was suspended. School officials say his suspension also will be expunged.

The suspensions and demotions were eventually reversed.

My bet?  The diversity industry is always complaining that school districts are picking on black and Hispanic students by suspending them more often (not that the students’ severe behavior has anything to do with it), and that Mr. Sheridan and his “pusher” are white, and that the New Haven District has a sizable non-white student body, and the two of them were suspended for a minor infraction just to even up the district’s suspension stats.

The “Georgia Peaches” (Eve Carson and Lauren Burk). Now that suspects have been bagged in the murder of both women, and all the suspects are representative of the diversity both ladies were so enthusiastic toward, the book on the matter is virtually closed, and the missive does fit the essence of Poetic (In)Justice.

We have plenty of documentation of Miss Carson’s progressive inclination and activism, but we’re short on the same for Miss Burk, save the few seconds that I heard someone on CNN describe her as a “progressive race activist of mixed Baptist-Jewish ancestry,” and the latter part is true because the MSM states that her father is Jewish and her mother is baptist.  If you can point us to anything credible to corroborate the other half, it would be much appreciated.

This fills in the rest of the details.
