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.
(snip)
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.
