4 Year Old Brings Pot To School, School Bans Backpacks

Posted by Brett Singer

A Florida pre-school has banned backpacks because a 4 year old brought pot to school. Can't make this stuff up, folks.When I was young and went to summer camp, people were always amazed when I said I was from the Bronx. I remember one kid actually took two steps back when I told him. Because people from the Bronx, you know, they were scary.

Clearly those guys didn't know what they were talking about. The really dangerous kids are from Florida. The 4 year olds.

Check this out:

A 4-year-old at a Tamarac preschool caused a furor when police say he pulled a plastic bag of pot from his book bag and casually told a classmate, "That's my brother's weed."

Can you imagine? What do you say to that? How does a 4 year old even know what "weed" is? His older brother, who is 21, must have told him when he hid his baggies in junior's bookbag.

The pot, by the way, is "scheduled to be destroyed." Wouldn't want to rush into anything, guys.

Here's the funny part. The school, in a reaction that I like to call "I have a headache THEREFORE I have a brain tumor", has banned bookbags. All of them. Because clearly, the backpacks are the problem. (Dora the Explorer had no comment.)

first, what kind of idiot hides pot in a 4 year olds bag? i know, it should be what kind of idiot is smoking pot. but i am trying not to be too judgmental.

second, yes, getting rid of backpacks is clearly the best solution here. apparently the person who thought that up smoked a little of that pot before destroying it... which is the answer to the whole "schedualed to be destroyed" question.

One time we used my daughter's backpack to pack stuff in when my husband and I went on a romantic weekend. I managed to get everything back out except the KY Jelly I apparently forgot about. Luckily, she didn't take it out at school.

Maybe instead the school should not allow students with older brothers to be enrolled. Sounds just as stupid as banning backpacks.

Yes, banning all backpacks will definitely address the issue...geez.  Glad the school officials are taking action.  *Rolling eyes*
