"The Merriam Webster Dictionary definition for flatulence is brief: "flatus expelled through the ####." And while it's a natural bodily function, it seems some Camden-Rockport Middle School eighth-grade boys are taking it to new heights and making a game of seeing who can expel the loudest and grossest flatus.
According to this week's Fire Cracker school newsletter though, the joke's on the boys as the penalty for "intentional farting" is now a detention."

But I doubt these kids can posses a lighter or even matches in the schools.
As for the aledged fart ban, I totaly believe in todays day and age. I'm sure they could tack on additional charges such as 'hate fart' or 'flatuance emisions violations', depending on which way the wind is blowing.
And you can bet these kids are seeking angles on what breakfast foods produce the nasties smells imaginable. The silent but deady assbomb type we all hate. Luckily they can't go on a Pabst and wings bender the night before. -
Ok, now I can see where boys could cause problems in this area, as my brother was just about the master at this kind of thing.
But the school is forgetting one thing, you cannot stop anyone from natural bodily functions. I had a teacher tell my son that he couldn't go to the restroom in her class anymore. Well it just so happened that his bodily clock "decided" that was the time of day that he needed the restroom. She insisted that he would never get a hall pass or visit the restroom again, because he was wasting time. So I had to call and ask her if she did her business at the same time every day? And if she wasn't allowed to do her business, how miserable would she be?
I can see that this will be one of those black and white rules, that will cause problems for innocent kids that actually aren't trying to cause problems. Because some teacher will get all literal about the rule and not use common sense here.
