WESTPORT, Mass. -- A group of students went to Europe for a class trip and came home to a suspension for drinking alcohol.   Sixteen of the 32 Westport High School students who traveled to Paris and Barcelona on their Spring Break were suspended for nine days for drinking on their trip.  The drinking age in only 16 in Spain, which made them legal at the time. The students said this trip was not school sponsored.  The Westport School Committee argues that they approved the trip, therefore the students had to follow the school policy.  Some of the students plan to go face-to-face before the superintendent and school committee on Tuesday night to talk about the issue.

I totally don’t get this story.   First of all since when do High School kids go on Spring Break?  I’ve never even heard of that before?   Does this mean that 16 is the new 18?   Because this would totally open the door for us to talk about a whole new crop of sluts.   It would be like when American Idol changed their age restrictions.   But I digress.   If these kids could drink legally in Paris how the fuck can you suspend them here?  It’s crazy.   I don’t even think they should be suspended if they drank illegally.    I mean what these kids do on vacation a million miles away is up to them.  It’s not like the school paid for the trip right?   It just makes no sense on any level. Mind your own business dude.
