A middle school student in Lewiston, Maine is being investigated by the police for a possible hate crime after he placed a bag containing a ham sandwich on a table where Somali students eat lunch. According to the school's superintendent, Leon Levesque, the student has been suspended, and more disciplinary action could follow pending the outcome of the investigation.

Far be it from me to encourage kids to be jerks but um....

Kids are going to be jerks. That's just life. Ribbing and bullying are normal adolescent behaviors, not frakking hate crimes.

Not saying it should be condoned but give the kids detention and being fricking done with it. Muslims are just going to have to learn to suck it up like the band geeks, the kids with retainers, and the asthmatics. You're going to get picked on in life, deal with it.

I think the "news story" is a joke, like The Onion or something.
