Sara Nichols, a 16-year-old student at Alabama’s Prattville
High School, has been expelled for a full year
for possession of a toy water pistol. The Montgomery Advertiser reported that she was given the water pistol
by a fellow student. She put it in her backpack and then put the backpack in
the back seat of her car. Another student observed the handover and informed
school officials. In addition, cameras on the school’s grounds captured footage
of the taboo toy transfer, and Nichols was subsequently called to the office to
account for her actions.
She
confessed to having the toy inside a backpack in the rear seat of her vehicle.
The Autauga County Board of Education banned her from school property and all
extra-curricular activities, and expelled her not just from Prattville High,
but from all schools within the county.
In
related news, another Prattville High student was later discovered to have a
Swiss Army knife in an emergency kit in his
car’s trunk.
He is
scheduled to be executed Thursday.
