A high school senior has been suspended over bringing a bag of corn chips onto the campus, resulting in her being banned from prom. Miami Valley Career Technology Center has a strict policy due to a teacher's food allergy. Ali Guy, a senior at the center, was given Taki chips on the school bus and ate them out of hunger. Despite finishing only two chips and throwing the bag away, Ali was suspended for five days, including being told she can’t go to the annual dance.
Meanwhile, school officials confirm disciplinary action for not following food consumption rule, saying, “Every student who learns in this particular area of the campus, in conjunction with their parent or guardian, acknowledges their understanding of the prohibition on consuming products containing the allergen in the specified area by signing a written document.” Sounds pretty corny.
