Your drug war outrage of the day. The school gave conflicting stories about why they searched his backpack. He said he didn't know where it came from. It looked like a marijuana leaf but wasn't. Not surprisingly, the child is now "skittish about going out in public, suffers from panic attacks and is depressed." (Original article from the Roanoke Times; also a summary and commentary from the Washington Post.)
This post was deleted for the following reason: That's a super dumb situation, for sure, but I'm not sure it needs a Metafilter post and when you're literally framing something as "your outrage of the day" this isn't really a good approach to making a front page post in any case. -- cortex
