No one was hurt. Nothing was damaged. The criminalization of school kids has gone too far.
A Florida teen with an exemplary record is facing federal charges after conducting what a classmate calls "a science project gone bad."
16-year-old Kiera Wilmot is accused of mixing housing chemicals in a small water bottle at Bartow High School, causing the cap to fly off and produce a bit of smoke. The experiment was conducted outdoors, no property was damaged, and no one was injured.
Not long after Wilmot's experiment, authorities arrested her and charged her with "possession/discharge of a weapon on school property and discharging a destructive device," according to WTSP-TV. The school district proceeded to expel Wilmot for handling the "dangerous weapon," also known as a water bottle. She will have to complete her high school education through an expulsion program.
Friends and staffers, including the school principal, came to Wilmot's defense, telling media that authorities arrested an upstanding student who meant no harm.

"From [the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations'] work, an evil thesis emerged: Through the use of terror, man can be reduced to a childlike and submissive state, in which his powers of reason are clouded, and in which his emotional response to various situations and stimuli can become predictable, or in Tavistockian terms, ?profitable.? By controlling the levels of anxiety, it is possible to induce a similar state in large groups of people, whose behavior can then be controlled and manipulated by the oligarchical forces for whom Tavistock worked."
