In a bizarre incident, a high school senior in New York faced suspension for bringing a cup of coffee to class. But the bigger issue was not really the coffee. The student challenged the school because administrators had apparently introduced a new rule banning or restricting outside food and drinks without properly informing students, parents or the public about the policy, reports The New York Post.
The student, identified as Julie Kaputa, said that on her last first day of school when a teacher confronted her over her Cup of Joe on September 3 at Beaver River Central School in Castorland, NY. “I walked in, I had my coffee with me. I got to my first period class and my teacher said, ‘I’m either going to need you to dump that out or consume it on the spot or go down to the office,’” Kaputa told WTVM.
