Three days late, Taranto picks this up:

Zero-Tolerance Watch

"A middle school student was suspended for three days for sharing chewing gum because it contained caffeine," the Associated Press reports from Lower Burrell, Pa.:

The girl, whose name and age were not released, gave another Huston Middle School student Jolt gum. The gum is "a stimulant that has no other redeeming quality," said Amy Palermo, schools superintendent.

Hey, the stuff has caffeine. If that isn't a redeeming quality, we don't know what one is.
