15-year-old Student Suspended for FARTING

An eighth-grader at the Bill Duncan Excel Center in South Lakeland, Jonathan Locke, 15, has been suspended from riding the school bus for three days after being accused of passing gas.
"Jonathan passes gas on the bus to make the other children laugh and it stunk so bad that you can't breathe after he does it," the bus driver wrote on a misbehavior form.
Locke said he wasn't the culprit.
"It wasn't even me," Locke said. "It was a kid who sits in front of me."
Jerome Corbett, senior director of specialized services for the Polk County School District, said there is no specific rule that prohibits students from passing gas on the bus.
"There's a rule against disturbing the bus," Corbett said.
If the flatulence becomes excessive, then Corbett said the bus driver has the responsibility to report it to the school administrator.

Good God, Almighty.
What did they want him to do, hold it in and become uncomfortable?

One thing about bodily functions you have very little control when it does what it does.
