(Photo by Ernst Peters) Jonathan Locke, Jr., a 15-year old eighth-grader at the Bill Duncan Excel Center in South Lakeland, FLorida, was suspended from riding the school bus for three days for habitual farting. According to the bus driver's written complaint, "Jonathan passes gas on the bus to make the other children laugh and it is so stinky that you can't breathe after he does it."
The youth claims it was not him, but the boy who sits to his front.
According to Jerome Corbett, senior director of specialized services for the Polk County School District, said there is no specific rule that prohibits students from farting on the bus. However, "If the flatulence becomes excessive, the bus driver has the responsibility to report it to the school administrator."
According to reports from The Ledger newspaper, "Trouble for Locke started Monday afternoon after school when a student sitting next to him started making noises with his mouth. Then, students smelled a pungent aroma. "I started laughing," Locke said. "It was a bad smell."
On Tuesday when Locke walked onto the bus, the bus driver handed him the suspension form. The bus driver ordered Locke off the bus. Locke exited the bus, then called his father for a ride home.
The last-minute notification that his son had been suspended for three days irked Locke's father, also named Jonathan. "I had no notice about anything," Locke said. "It's costing me time. . . . You're not going to stop a kid from laughing if it's (about) passing gas."\
Smelly Gross and this kid should be forced to wear Subtle Butt. I don't like smelly farts and it can be prevented. Check out www.subtlebutt.com, there is a funny video about it too.
