12/6/97 John Wiley a Mannford Middle School student was suspended
for turning
in a bag of marijuana to school officials.
His mother, Lenora, said the boy's
trust in school officials has been shattered,
and she worries about how other
children will treat her son. "We'll finish this semester.
We still need
to talk, and we're still working with an attorney."
Update 12/18/97 The school decided to let John back into school after "new evidence" came to light.
Officials said some other middle schoolers involved in the incident had changed their stories.
The Mannford Middle School Principal said the investigation into the incident was continuing and that some of the other
students involved had
begun to paint a different picture of what happened that morning.
John contends that he was offered marijuana by some other students
the
morning of Dec. 2. He said he accepted it so that he could turn it in, and
when
he did so, he was suspended for possession of an illegal substance.
His appeal of the suspension to the Mannford School Board was denied.

The seventh grader with the ironic name was recently suspended from seventh grade at Hickory Middle School in Chesapeake, Va.,
for bringing a plastic baggie full of oregano to school. Yeah, the Italian spice, not some cool new street slang for marijuana.
The school said the popular pizza topping falls under the heading of an “imitation controlled substance” and
is prohibited according to district rules. Grass wasn’t even the one who brought the mock Mary Jane to school,
but was caught passing it to another student, landing him a 10-day suspension and possible expulsion.

June 16 1997 Scott Louis Sussman was banned from graduation ceremonies at Gilman High School unless he changed his hairstyle... Scott wore his hair in cornrows... School officials said that his hairstyle was extreme and prohibited by school dress code. Scott had worn this style for some time and it never came up until graduation rehearsal, which kind of makes you wonder what or who the problem really was... So Scott took down his hair, then it resembled dregs which are permitted as they are not extreme?
