If you buy cocaine in middle school, your life is not on the right track. Ditto, if you buy crack. And ditto, alas, if you buy Kool-Aid powder mixed with sugar, at least at the Akros Middle School in Akron, Ohio. As WPTV newsnet5 explains, 14-year-old Iverson Sibley was suspended for five days for making a “drug-type transaction”: After Sibley was called into the head office, it became clear what she had in a Ziploc bag wasn’t crack or cocaine, as officials initially thought, but a mixture of Kool-Aid powder and sugar. She was slapped with a five-day suspension anyway. Her mother, Erika Yarborough, feels the punishment didn’t fit the crime. Maybe because there was no crime? The mom proceeded to take her daughter out of Akros, a charter school, and re-enroll her in the local public school. Meanwhile, the school released this nonsensical note to the TV station: Akros Middle School opened in 2010 to provide school choice to the parents in the Akron and surrounding areas. Many of our students have moved on to local private high schools and college preparatory schools to further their education. It is unfortunate that discipline issues interfere with the educational process; however, many of our parents are appreciative that our school is known for its safe learning environment. We will continue to hold our students with high expectations to prepare them for a successful future. High expectations? Or expectations that they are trying to get high, even when purchasing sugar?

If the student was trying to sell someone (fake) narcotics, they can be excluded from the school for that. Or be reassigned to a disciplinary setting instead. It seems she wasn't just carrying around her Koolaide stash.
He should have tried to sell a fake bomb masquerading as a clock and changed his name to Abdul. he would have been hailed as a national hero and invited to wine and dine at the White House.
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
That's one way to describe it. Another would be that her daughter was expelled from the charter school, forcing her mother to enroll her in the local public school. Which is where she and the other disruptive students belong. Charter schools are a way out of poverty. Too bad her mother didn't care. And where's the father in all this?
Young teens call this "Happy Crack" and it gives then a sugar high. It's a concoction of red unsweetened Kool Aid and Pixie Stix (or plain sugar). Maybe someone can make the argument that young teens should be able to buy and sell this "Happy Crack" at school, but it won't be me.
I can see how a school would not want kids acting as unofficial food vendors. Maybe that's the issue here. However, you would never know that by the ridiculously cryptic statement the school released.

Is it the name "happy crack" that has you drug warriors wetting your panties? Good grief man, if you prohibitionists had your way you'd ban everything that induces a pleasant neurological response. No wonder sane people all over the country laugh at you and your fetid ilk. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Urban zoo animals acting like... Well, urban zoo animals. Soon Deckard will be posting his Black Lives Matter propaganda. All those mean mean governments keeping the inner city animals down. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You actually post and believe this nonsense! It's kool-aid and sugar, nothing more, nothing less.
For possessing sugar, a perfectly legal substance? Good grief, what a pathetic clown you are. Man, you prohibitionists are a really a hoot! In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much It is what they believe it is. So, you support 12-years-olds buying and selling plastic baggies of Happy Crack at school?
I didn't know it was called Happy Crack until I looked it up. I object to 12-year-olds pretending to be drug dealers, buying and selling a product called Happy Crack at a charter school. Send 'em back to their shitty public school if that's how they're going to behave.
For acting like drug dealers. That's inner city urban animal behavior. Dumb dumb It's a SCHOOL SETTING... I don't want my children rubbing elbows with future anarchist drug loving, rioting Deckard like dysfunctional thugs. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Oh man, you really are a delusional little prick. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much "Happy Crack" = yukon Your new favorite website? Teach your own grandkids how to sell kilos of white powder... But don't speak for my relatives in a school setting.

Calcon is a magician. You better watch out what he pulls out of his maegiick bag of tricks ...

I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
