DC: The principal at a high school in Knoxville, Tennessee has decided to rescind a suspension given to senior Carson Koller after Koller made the mistake of purchasing an extra chicken nugget in the school cafeteria.
Koller, an Eagle Scout and the captain of the drum line at Farragut High School, received the one-day suspension on Monday because he took six chicken nuggets — instead of the customary five nuggets — and then duly paid for the sixth nugget. MORE
There went his chance to be a Supreme Court Justice.
So sad. 🙁
Holdover MIchelle Obama’s policy.
As anyone familiar with the education system can attest, school administration is the living embodiment of the Peter Principle.
Todays public schools are crawling with uncontrollably vicious and dangerous little thugs with impulse control issues just like this one. He deserves no less than 24hr lockdown in some heavily guarded reform school.
We need to get a handle on this problem and it appears the schools principal is on it.
Peter Principle hell. Dickhead Principal.
There is so much insanity going on right now I’m surprised we’re not all going postal.
FFS, he PAID for it. It’s not like he claimed he was entitled to an extra nugget.
I’d like to know how many kids in that school qualify for a FREE lunch.
The principal would have called in the school resource officer to arrest and charge the miscreant for his heinous crime but he was out cowering behind his car in the parking lot!
Brown Eyed Girl, I live 10 minutes from this kid’s high school. Farragut is a very pish tosh/ hoi polloi area. As in “We live in Farragut, dahling”. I’m pretty sure there are no free lunches.
Which has made this story all the more bizarre to the local populace.
Who does this spoiled white-privileged brat think he is having six nuggets when everyone else has five?! Twenty years in the gulag for him!
Get/Keep your children out of the government school systems.
The young man needs a refund, an apology, and 2 scoops of ice cream.
Good thing he didn’t nibble them into the shape of little handguns. They’d have stoned him and his entire family to death.
@WDS, yes, paying for them is probably the issue. If he was a little commie who felt entitled because mama and daddy blew his college fund at strip joints and casinos there wouldn’t have been a suspension and this never would have hit the news.
Nugget NAZIs!
The time to start the killing is approaching quicker than most people think….
I always suspected that the ladies behind the counters in schools and in college were hate filled crypto Nazis. I remember them sizing all of us up and giving less to tall skinny guys (like me at the time) and more to little people. Strange…..
The kid’s mother handled this far more graciously than I would have.
I hope someone tells her to demand a review of how this was written up in the kid’s “record”. Most likely it says that there for suspension for theft, and then another line (if any) that the suspension was lifted per the principal, without any explanation. At some point in the future, say, when he goes for a security clearance, all other evidence being gone, that will be read as “He stole. Principal cut him a break”.
This kid is just lucky he didn’t have two scoops of ice cream, that would have gone national.
Who could blame him? He knew he couldn’t have any pudding if he didn’t eat his meat.
WTF was he supposed to do with it? He couldn’t put it back, so paying for it was the only right thing to do.
I’ve got a grandson in that school; I’m sure I’ll hear a different story later on.
And 911, all the principal needed to say was “I’ve got a student that needs tasing”, and that cop would have been on it like a duck on a junebug.
You ask too many questions and your nuggets are not in order.
The real turd burglar.
