Looking through past entries, I'm amazed at how long it's been since kissaboo posted a Weird Ohio story - I guess the authors have been concentrating on other things. However, we have to at least mention a very well-publicized Weird Ohio story. For those who didn't hear, a 6th grader was suspended for 3 days for reading this year's SI Swimsuit issue before class. I find this story amazing. If this was my child's first offense and he was ordered to an alternative school or suspension, I'd be causing quite a ruckus. While we can debate if this should even be an offense, no one should agree that the appropriate action is removal from school. When I was growing up, I think the only offenses that warranted such a hefty penalty were physical fighting and drug possesion. I had a subscription to Sports Illustrated for the better part of a decade before I went to college, and while I'm unsure at what age I received my first swimsuit issue, I know I could uncover Ashley Montana's issue in under 3 minutes if I were at home. Admittedly, it never dawned on me to bring it to school.
