Because we send students to jail for conducting experiments they didn’t get approval for in advance.
Kiera Wilmot got good grades and had a perfect behavior record. She wasn’t the kind of kid you’d expect to find hauled away in handcuffs and expelled from school, but that’s exactly what happened after an attempt at a science project went horribly wrong.
On 7 a.m. on Monday, the 16 year-old mixed some common household chemicals in a small 8 oz water bottle on the grounds of Bartow High School in Bartow, Florida. The reaction caused a small explosion that caused the top to pop up and produced some smoke. No one was hurt and no damage was caused.
No one was hurt and no damage was caused. So why was this child arrested, charged, expelled, and will be tried as an adult for doing a science experiment at 7am?

Not sure what to get that special someone in your life? How about an autograph from an authentic racist, murderer, and all-around worthless human being? For just three easy payments of $19.95 a donation of your choosing, George Zimmerman will send you a personalized card, autographed by the same hands that took the life of a child armed with snacks from the corner store. But act fast! If there is any justice left in Florida, this offer will be short-lived and Mr. Zimmerman will trade his autographing-pen for an entirely different type of pen — a PENitentiary. Don’t miss out on your chance to own an authentic slice of timeless Americana, racism justified by legalese and faulty logic!

GIULIANI: I have never seen a guy change his positions on so many things so fast, on a dime.
SANTORUM: This is someone who will say anything to get elected.
GINGRICH: Somebody who will lie to you to get to be President will lie to you when they are President.
Neither Romney nor his family have any honor whatsoever, he is so petty and partisan there is no hope of any across-the-aisle lawmaking, and the Republican party is doing their very best to steal this election out from under us.
When Hurricane Isaac threatened Tampa, the Republican National Convention postponed their opening day. So, a bunch of Christians prayed and sent the hurricane to Louisiana instead. Now they’re all giggly because God sent that big ole nasty hurricane to some other folks.
Or her hair is too straight. Or she is too lite-skinted. Or she looks too bougie.
::shrug:: I don’t really know what this heffah is talkin about either. All I know is, her former assistant says she walked in on Ms. Carroll having lesbian sex in the office and Ms. Carroll says that can’t possibly be true because she doesn’t *look* like a black lesbian.
