8th grader Michael Sheridan was stripped of his title as class vice president, barred from attending an honors student dinner and suspended for a day after buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate.
The New Haven, Connecticut school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a districtwide school wellness policy.
The superintendent said that the principal was just trying to keep students safe, but that he would review the decision to suspend Michael.
Michael says that he didn't realize his candy purchase was against the rules, but he did notice that the student selling the Skittles was being secretive.
