Yet another Zero-Tolerance Makes Zero-Sense school case.

Where a 10 year old gets a week's detention because a fellow student had given her a jolly rancher candy.

The school’s principal and superintendent said they were simply complying with a state law that limits junk food in schools. Jack Ellis, the superintendent for Brazos Independent School District, declined an on-camera interview. But he said the school was abiding by a state guideline that banned “minimal nutrition” foods.

It doesn't restrict what the parents allow the kid to have.. but another kid giving them a jolly rancher=a week's detention??
