an impassioned plea for flatulent justice
People tell me I don't blog often enough. But today there is a war on farts. School children are being locked up for farting, and I can no longer remain silent. This is a compelling story. It must be told.
Locked up?
When children are suspended from school in Meridian Mississippi, the Youth Court places them on probation, and the probation terms require them to be incarcerated in the juvenile detention center. (LINK )
According to the U.S. Justice Department, the Meridian police routinely arrests public school students whenever the school wants to press charges.
If the students are on probation, any further violations count as probation violations, which require them "to serve any suspensions from school in the juvenile detention center," the Justice Department said.
Flatulence?
So if a student is on probation and then gets suspended for a minor infraction like "dress code violations, flatulence, profanity, and disrespect," the student can serve that suspension in the detention center. I am not making this up ( LINK )
Officials in Meridian have operated "a school-to-prison pipeline" that violates the constitutional rights of juveniles by incarcerating them for alleged school disciplinary infractions, the U.S. Department of Justice said. And "the students most severely affected by these practices are black children and children with disabilities."
Along with the farty children.
Farting is rude, isn't it?
Farts are downright funny. And you know it.
"Let's break down a fart for a second," said comedian Louis C.K. to Jon Stewart. "It comes out of your ass. It smells like poop. And it makes a little trumpet noise when it comes out."
"You don't have to be smart to laugh at farts," C.K. concluded, "but you have to be stupid not to."

fart is one of the joy of life
i think maybe that quote is the best thing i have heard all day.
@promisesunshine - Hear Hear! Let's save the misunderstood children.
@we_deny_everything - of every age.
@maniacsicko - Yeah. I'm going to pretend I don't know what you mean.
wow, that's really in their school code book, how asinine.
Damn. If the state of Maryland adopts that same zero tolerance policy on farting, my two youngest will never get out of juvie.
@godfatherofgreenbay - It seems Mississippi uses a different Constitution from the rest of us.
@ZombieMom_Speaks - Prison fare will probably be beans day after day.
How is doing what they are doing any different from farting?
@KnightInCROATIANarmor - same thing of course
@we_deny_everything - I know. I'm just confirming my own suspicions.
@maniacsicko - LOL
I blogging about fart before, probably before you joined Xanga.
@RestlessButterfly - Very good. But did you blog about going to jail? Farts and jail? No, I don't think so.
I guess they need to lock up everyone who farts then. Gees! The South is crazy.
@Ikwa - ha ha they voted in personhood and outlawed contraception. What will they think of next?
@we_deny_everything - I was in jail for few years before. The judge found me guilty of stole someone heart. I've found guilty and jailed for broke a guy heart into a thousand tiny pieces
Where are the Conservatives who get outraged on trumped up issues? They like to fart in the direction of liberals.
Yes I said that. They could hold in those farts but decide to make a stink out of really crazy issues.
Who could say something mean about Obama's handling of the assasination of Osama Bin Ladin? Conservatives are farting on Obama on this very point.
However on 9/11 we sort of get a honorary silence (no farting). Both parties will declare a truce and not fart on 9/11.
@PPhilip - Said the French Soldier in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. I fart in your general direction."
Based on the cell wall graffiti, I'd say they have some real hard core detainees. And tall too.
