Seriously, this is getting ridonculous

So now this kid in Florida gets arrested for farting.  Seriously.  The charge was that he was disrupting school activities, but I'm having a little trouble getting over on this one.  What happened to suspension? Flunking him for not behaving?  Or hell, expelling him like this kid.  Schools are getting more and more absurd, more concerned with what kids can and can't do and less with what the hell they're learning.  I'm gonna go throw up now.

    Well, the kid was apparently being obnoxious about it, and intentionally disrupting class. I don't feel bad for him so much, but getting arrested? Detention, suspension, heck, even expulsion is appropriate. But criminalizing rascal behavior is a bad path to be on, for sure, and I feel MORE badly for the rest of us.
