A school system is finally starting to get the picture that "zero tolerance" and absolute punishments not reflecting the nature of a "crime" (that of kids possessing legitimate over-the-counter drugs like advil) are more detrimental to the community than the close-minded bastards first thought.
Story is here...

The war on drugs continues to reek havoc among innocent civilians, particularly our kids, when people equate psuedofed and advil with cocaine or even tylenol-#3 (codeine), and punish kids with expulsion for such a crime as wanting to get rid of menstral cramps without the public embarrasment of going to see the school nurse.
