No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Tyler Hagen, 13, said a friend at school gave him a bag of marijuana. Not wanting the drug, he gave it to his parents, who called the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and turned it in. But when officials at Arroyo Seco Junior Middle School in Saugus, Calif., learned the boy was given the contraband at school, they consulted the school district’s zero-tolerance anti-drug policy, which dictated a five-day suspension and a forced transfer to another school. District officials are backing the school for following the policy, saying the boy should have turned the pot over to the principal, not his parents. (UPI) ...It’s a good thing the school officials don’t have a sense of humor, or they’d die laughing at themselves.
