ORCHARD, Texas – A third-grader at Brazos Elementary was given a week’s detention for possessing a Jolly Rancher.
School officials in western Fort Bend County are defending the seemingly harsh sentence. The school’s principal and superintendent said they were simply complying with a state law that limits junk food in schools.
But the girl’s parents say it’s a huge overreaction.
“I think it’s stupid to give a kid a week’s worth of detention for a piece of candy,” said Amber Brazda, the girl’s mother. “The whole thing was just ridiculous to me.”
Leighann Adair, 10, was eating lunch Monday when a teacher confiscated the candy. Her parents said she was in tears when she arrived home later that afternoon and handed them the detention notice.
BTW this is not “State Law.” Here are the guidelines linked here. So these are just malicious school dipshits doing their own thing.
Related links. Apparently the Principal, Jeanne Brazos is an egomaniac as she has the schools website “blink” her name here. The Principal rationalizes that another child gave her the candy, not her mom, so she was found guilty of taking a gift from a friend. Good lessons this woman teaches, huh? And who was the teacher who busted the little tyke? What a scumbag.

Taking the candy from a friend and not the State is private enterprise — bad example to youth. Leftists can be prudes!
ECA, around here the K is 5, 1 is 6 and so on…
Lynn, this wasn’t during class, it was in the lunch room. Was candy banned from the lunch room in your school?
I’d like to know what the ‘friend’ that gave her the candy had happen.. Was she suspended for trafficking?
I’m sure FOX will continue to provide us with Fair And Balanced coverage of the events, and maybe even what flavor Jolly Rancher it was.
Texas has to keep a good separation from the fattest state of Mississippi….
Wow that is really ridiculous. It makes me want to home school my children. Honestly, what is that child going to think of authority figures for the rest of her life?
