Fla. student suspended from bus for passing gas
2 hrs 1 min ago

LAKELAND, Fla. – An eighth-grader was suspended from riding the school
bus for three days after being accused of passing gas. The bus driver
wrote on a misbehavior form that a 15-year-old teen passing gas on the
bus Monday to make the other children laugh, creating a stench so bad
that it was difficult to breathe. The bus driver handed the teen the
suspension form the next day.

Polk County school officials said there's no rule against flatulence,
but there are rules against causing a disturbance on the bus.

The teen said he wasn't the one passing gas.

Whether he did it or not, he might have gotten off easy. A 13-year-old
student at a Stuart school was arrested in November after authorities
said he broke wind in class.
