Conn. Student Suspended For Buying Candy In School

[Strings]

heh... I was selling tootsie-roll pops and blow-pops all through jr high. Went through a few pounds of the things a week, at a dime a sucker. Made a fair amount of change that way, too.

 Admin would've liked to shut me down, but there were too many teachers I was paying "protection candy" to...

Aside from the nutrition issue, Sullivan-DeCarlo said, students create security problems when they carry money.

Gee, I wonder what side of the political spectrum this guy is on?

Nonsense. Leftists are the ones who want a "society without money", with everyone suckling on the public teat their entire lives and working for the collective good.
