Perhaps the school in question should also hold the accomplice responsible
and send the rain to jail as well. This is an old story that was just
noted on a journalism newsletter, but old or not it takes criminal justice
in public schools to a whole new level and the direction would seem to be
down. I have read a number of discussions of one or another case of
overreaction in the discipline case handling by one or another elementary
or secondary education institution in the news or education related
discussion groups. I think this story may have all of the others beat.

Fla. sixth-grader who stomped in puddle arrested
INVERNESS, Fla. (AP)
<http://www.courttv.com/archive/national/1999/1208/puddle_ap.html>
There was no kid-glove treatment for a 12-year-old boy who stomped his
feet in a puddle and sprayed classmates and a school official.
Deputy Tim Langer hauled Kyle Fredrikson off to jail Monday and charged
the boy with disruption of an educational institution, a misdemeanor, for
the incident.
His parents, Chuck and Brenda Fredrikson, are outraged. "The inmates had
access to him. Can you imagine that for stomping in a mud puddle?" said
his father.

Kyle's family say he has a hyperactive disorder and is in a class with
similar children. Langer should have taken that into account before
arresting him, they say.

Can anbody on this subject of school discipline or zero tolerance top this
vintage story?
