Michael’s suspension has been reduced from three days to one, but he has not been reinstated as class vice president.
The TV Mini Series Pitch:
This was no ordinary day for Michael Sheridan as he walked into his middle school. Like so many politicians of our age he was about to give into a vice worthy of the ire about to be leveled by the New Haven school system. This school Vice President was about to let down his constituency by committing a crime not unlike a state governor that might go out to buy hookers.
Mr. Sheridan was in withdrawals from a terrible Skittle addiction. Like so many other classmates hooked on products made by those sugar peddlers like M&M Mars and Hershey, Mr. Sheridan was about to throw his career away for a succulent grape or lemon flavored candy.
Luckily, he was caught in the act and saved by a school district that has more time than others worried about things like gang violence and teen age drug abuse. A school district that cares enough to stop the rampant consumption of sugar laden items instead of worrying about the loaded semi-automatic in little Timmy’s backpack.
Mr. Sheridan has been stripped of his office, given suspension, will have to enter a sugar rehab clinic and get years of psycho-therapy for the ridicule he must have suffered but one thing is certain. As an American I am proud to live in a country where a bag of Skittles gets you busted. Kudos to school boards everywhere and keep up the good work. Maybe we can get catheters and I.V. food nutrient packs for kids, so they never leave their desks to eat or use the restroom while they study for tests to get their school districts more money.
