A Maine middle school is declaring war on flatulence, reports the Knox
County
Times:
It seems some Camden-Rockport Middle School eighth-grade boys
are . . . making a game of seeing who can expel the loudest
and grossest flatus.
According to this week's Fire Cracker school newsletter though,
the joke's on the boys as the penalty for "intentional farting"
is now a detention.
"Strange, but true, thanks to a bunch of 8th grade boys,
intentional farting has been banned from CRMS," the newsletter
said. "It started out as a funny joke and eventually turned
into a game. This is the first rule at CRMS that prevents the
use of natural bodily functions. The penalty for intentional
farting is a detention, so keep it to yourself!"
This is the only school we've ever heard of where the students are
discouraged
from trying to pass.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.
