READER SAYS STUDENT'S PUNISHMENT WAS UNFAIR

Re: Bossier Parish School Board expulsion of a student having Advil at
school.

Each and every member of the Bossier Parish School Board should be
"sentenced" to frequent headaches. I am not endorsing infraction of
rules; however, being a headache victim myself, I can totally
empathize with Amanda Stiles. You go, girl!

Do whatever it takes to intercept something as debilitating as a
headache. Quick intervention is important and does not allow for
dawdling around in a school office for dispensing of a preventive
medication.

I am appalled at the one-year expulsion. Hardened criminals can and do
get by with less! Think about it, Bossier Parish School Board!
