A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.

The rules:

1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.

2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.

3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

First reaction that the kid is dealing drugs and needs to be investigated is pretty on brand for schools.

More like trillions in debt acquired. Taxing is socialism.

Why vis lunch so contentious in the US? Why do people have lunch debt?

We have poor people in other countries too. They don't get free lunches, but it doesn't seem to be such a contentious issue.

So was he expelled?

Some will consider that an even more serious offense.
