TALK about a lot of hot air. A couple of 13-year-old boys were thrown off a school bus last week for the horrendous crime of farting??
Officials from Columbus's Canal Winchester Middle School decided their wind was an "obscene gesture" and handed them one day suspensions for their gassy odor after the driver reported them.
One of them Anthony Nichols' father was baffled by the decision.
James Nichol's said: "Obscene gesture? I wouldn't call him an angel, but for passing gas on the bus?"
He explained that children being children, the flatulence apparently caused a ruckus on the bus amid a flurry of laughs, jeers and lowering of windows."
But he is amazed that his seventh-grader son would be kicked off the bus for
doing what comes naturally - and accidentally.
He told The Columbus Dispatch: "It's very laughable, that's what it is.He suggested my son should hold his gas on this hourlong bus ride, if in fact he has gas. "When it happens, it just happens. It's not intentional."
The school refused to comment.
