I think these kids are ridiculous. This school is for all the super rich. It is about time something was done with their, "Rules don't apply to me!" attitude.

I do not know the details, but I am shocked and horrified that a school would expel students for using marijuana OUTSIDE of school. How many teachers at Sacred Heart have tried marijuana, not to mention harder drugs such as cocaine? Judging from the fact that the last three presidents all tried marijuana when they were young and Bush and Obama both tried cocaine, I bet the answer is many more than you think.
(For your information, I am a 50-something year old who can count on one hand the number of times I tried marijuana in my youth. I've never tried any other illegal drugs. Unlike Bush, I have NEVER driven a car under the influence of alcohol.)
