A Florida teen with an exemplary record is facing federal charges after conducting what a classmate calls “a science project gone bad.”

16-year-old Kiera Wilmot is accused of mixing housing chemicals in a small water bottle at Bartow High School, causing the cap to fly off and produce a bit of smoke. The experiment was conducted outdoors, no property was damaged, and no one was injured.

Florida....

[Blackking]

yeah... that's what we need in this nation... to put young black girls out of school and to give them felonies because she experimented with some chemicals .....

"In order to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment, we simply must uphold our code of conduct rules. We urge our parents to join us in conveying the message that there are consequences to actions. We will not compromise the safety and security of our students and staff."

Just like them punishing blacks back in the day for learning to read.

Old habits die hard.

We live in a post-9/11 world people are super paranoid. They probably thought she was a terrorist.

 

[Existential]

Beyond disgusting!

And the school stands behind the expulsion while numerous teachers defend this girl!

"There are consequences to actions"! "Serious breach of conduct" ?

I'm so grateful I graduated high school years ago, because this country has gone mad!

This is a felony charge?

You know the insane airport security that all of you liberals support? Don't be surprised when they bring that into schools. Can you imagine your children being strip searched everyday and being forced to walk through a giant cancer-inducing xray machine? Yeah.

1. That's a conservative/republican approach
2. That is already implemented in schools across the country

I'm glad I don't live in Florida. We used to light stuff on fire in the back of chemistry class.
