Expulsion? For this? You must be kidding!

But not if you are dealing with zero tolerance.

Two teenagers have been kicked out of school for kissing on a school bus, and now their families are challenging the decision.

Dominique Goyner and his girlfriend were expelled by the Richland County District Two school board in October for the rest of the academic year.

School officials told Jody Free her son was being removed from school for "sexual misconduct."

But Free saw the tape and says it showed the pair kissing for maybe two minutes. Had it been anything different, she said she would have supported the school's decision.

Her son said he knew he was breaking a rule but was shocked by school's response. He says he hopes the expulsion won't stop him from attending a military academy after graduation.

Was the lip-lock inappropriate. Yeah, probably. But an expulsion? That is insane! But I guess consensual kissing is the equivalent of forcible rape in the eyes of this South Carolina school board, and so the offenders need to be removed from school for the safety of their classmates.

Looks to me like the Richland Taliban Party has won control of that school board.
