Jamie Nichols and Kristin Kuzora are angered that school officials found their 13-year-old son's natural body processes to be obscene. Advertisement Their son and another boy passed gas on a school bus last week, and with kids being kids, it caused a ruckus on the bus, along with a flurry of laughs, jeers and lowering of windows, the Columbus [Ohio] Dispatch reported. Canal Winchester Middle School officials cited the boys for making an obscene gesture in violation of the student code of conduct and revoked their bus rides to school Friday. School officials didn't return calls asking for a comment. Nichols said he couldn't believe school officials would boot his seventh-grade son, Anthony, off the bus for doing what comes naturally. "It's very laughable, that's what it is," Nichols said. Nichols said the bus driver reported the incident to the school's vice principal, Daniel Senu-Oke, and discussed possible punishment with the administrator. "He suggested my son should hold his gas on this hourlong bus ride, if in fact he has gas," said Nichols. "When it happens, it just happens. It's not intentional." Advertisement
