LOWER BURRELL, Pa. (AP) -- A middle school student was suspended for three days for sharing chewing gum because it contained caffeine, school officials said.

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.

Have we lost our damn minds in this country? Yes I believe you can make a strong case that would hold up in court that we have lost our damn minds. It seems to me the loss of our minds accelerated after Columbine and the debacle that turned into.

Caffeine gum can you believe it? What next, "Student shares bag of chips and is suspended after, 'Salt Police' make an on the spot arrest."
