WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
Drumroll, please.
The "Absolutely, Without Question, the Most Ridiculous, Asinine, Ass-headed News Item of the Year" award goes to the Young Middle Magnet School of Mathematics, Science & Technology in Tampa, Florida.
From the school's December newsletter (the on-line link for which curiously directs you to their November newsletter) comes this warning to parents and students (as reported by the St. Petersburg Times):
Here's the link to the administrators page of the school's website. Apparently, Ms. Durant, the school's principal, is not required to wear the official "Association of Academic Asshelmets" t-shirt so proudly worn by her underlings.

From the school's December newsletter (the on-line link for which curiously directs you to their November newsletter) comes this warning to parents and students (as reported by the St. Petersburg Times):
"There have been recent incidences of students at our school using rubber bands as a method of projecting objects at other people. The students refer to some of the projectile objects as "wasps.' Occasionally, students are using their fingers to project the wasps. These activities have resulted in injured students.
"Rubber bands are not permitted at school. If students are in possession of rubber bands for any reason they will be subject to consequences that may include out of school suspension. When rubber bands are required for classroom use, they will be provided and collected."
