lol. Sure. I dropped out in sophomore year because I really wasn't feeling that life. I just didn't care; I stopped going, slept late watched too much TV, and began smoking a lot of weed...
I guess I would call myself a Free Spirit, thou I didn't put much thought into it, so, thank you for asking, and making my brain do things. :3
So, 2 years later, I tried to finish HS to get college credits, and they wouldn't allow it.
I would arrive there at random times of the school day, sometimes stoned, or drinking, or on cough syrup, attempting to convince the staff to let me finish high school.. which did not work, for the record, thus this story is born . I got my GED (whatever it is worth) through the military the next year.

My middle school banned backpacks for one year. For real!

For some people, myself included, the floor's a freaking tripping hazard. Are they gonna try banning that next?

@PearlRose: they gave up after a year because everyone was complaining. People are stupid 🙄

No arguments there.
My schools never went that far with banning things, but I'm sure they came close sometimes.

Drugs but they didn't always enforce it, girls were smoking marijuana in the bathrooms and everyone could smell it in the hallways.
We have had books banned in our public schools but I dont know which ones.
It sounds funny to relate in the 21st century, but in my elementary school left-handed children were basically "banned". We were strongly discouraged (often by means of the ruler or offending hand tied to our chairs) from using our left hands to write or reach. It wasn't considered "abuse" and many parents went along with it; the ability to favor one's right hand was "normal", advantageous. Being left-handed was almost viewed in the same way that being dyslexic is now.

Didn't they do that in Catholic schools, since they thought the left hand was the "devil's hand" or something?
@PearlRose: Yes, this was a Catholic school, although I don't remember the nuns ever directly calling it the devil's hand. I might've blocked that out, though. 😇
