My school's zero tolerance drug policy
Isn't is great how bureaucratic the school system is to have a ZERO tolerance drug policy? I have a 4.0 and am taking 3 AP classes. I get suspended for having a picture that had birth control glued to it. How amazing is that? 10 days suspension at a drug class.Rating:1.00

1First of all, how nutty is it that the school considers birth control pills drugs and second, how did they get glued to the picture?

3Guessing you mean birth control pills. Yes, those ARE prescription drugs. No doubt you knew ahead of time about the ZERO tolerance policy, and being a 4.0 student you should understand the definition of ZERO. If the picture you constructed was for some sort of class project, you could have used a fake pill, or at least checked with someone first.
Maybe no harm was intended but school administrators have better things to do than to hash out what constitutes either end of the "gray area," so that's why they just say NO drugs at all.
Normally I'm not pro-establishment but in this case I'd have to say they're right.

4To the above commenter. Birth control pills are not drugs, they are hormones and are prescribed and used for a reason just like most prescription drugs. A little commons sense is necessary. Drugs, the kind that schools should be worried about, are not prescribed and most of them are illegal. Are you suggesting that a student that is taking prescribed medication should be suspended if a teacher finds a bottle of prescribed anxiety pills in her purse?

6Alot of prescription drugs have a purpose. Codeine, vicodin, marinol, valium, ambien, viagra, adderall, oxycontin, just to name a few. Do you want kids running around with these? Just because it is prescribed doesn't mean it's not a drug. Condoms aren't drugs. you could have brought those. slutty little slut you.

7Asthma inhalers are prescription drugs as well. I hope those aren't included in the "ZERO tolerance" policy.

8I hope Inhalers aren't either, or I have a lot of suspension time to make up.

9Don't be ridiculous; of course schools make exceptions for asthma inhalers. If you can make a case for suddenly needing birth control during your school day, by all means present it to the administration and I wish you good luck.

11"Do you want kids running around with these?"
The drugs you listed typically aren't prescribed to kids so your point is useless. Have you ever seen anyone get high on birth control pills?
I'd still like to hear from the OP as to how or why a birth control pill was glued to a picture. Somehow I think there's more to the story than we've been told.

12I could definitely find a way to get high on birth control pills.

13Perhaps if you were not such a slutty whore you wouldnt have these problems. Goddamn, suck a dick for christs sake, then you wouldnt need the pills. Besides, any guy that fucks up and impregnates you should be man enough to do one of three things
1. Get you so high on blow for about a week that you miscarry
2. punch you in the gut
3. drive you to the abortion clinic
not only should you have been suspended, you should have been expelled. Go earn a living on the street with your juicy teenage twat

14The zero tolerance policy has come under a lot of flak due to incidences like this. Under the no tolerance policy, there are provisions for people who require prescription medicines for daily function. If you have asthma, you must tell the school that you need the inhaler, and they will permit you to carry it. HOWEVER, should you give the inhaler to someone else, you and the other person will both be in trouble. Same goes for all other prescription drugs. Still, I personally think zero tolerance is stupid, but it provides a way to be completely objective about drugs. Birth control though? How old are you? Elementary school age, then maybe. But junior high or high school age, unless you go to a Catholic school, then I vote: bullshit.

15That's ridiculous. I would 100% support having a zero ILLEGAL drug policy ... But what if I get a headache? I can't take an asprin? No prescription drugs? From a DOCTOR? That's STUPID.
I think you should start a petition to allow prescription drugs and make the policy a zero tolerance illegal drug policy. Grrrrrr ...
