Education

School officials confiscate healthy drink from student, subject him to police interrogation and ultimately suspend him because the drink was in a glass container and they feared it contained alcohol.

"The child’s distraught mother managed to get a meeting with the school’s Vice Principal the next morning who informed her that the Principal had decided to retract the suspension and not pursue the issue further.  The child was then immediately allowed to return to school."

Somebody got to the principal. Too bad. The kid would have been better off home-schooled. Somebody at the school board reminded the principal he was going to lose revenue and possible create another home-schooler. Or maybe someone reminded him he could face lawsuit for the police interrogation with no parent or lawyer present.
