Beans, beans, the magical fruit / The more you eat, the more you go to jail.

A 12-year old boy attending Stuart’s Spectrum Jr./Sr. High School in Martin County, Florida, was arrested November 4, 2008, by a member of the county Sheriff’s Office, after a teacher said that he had “deliberately passed gas to disrupt the class” and had turned off the computers of his classmates.

He was then criminally charged with “disruption of school function.”
