Some parents at Prairie Elementary in Lafayette are outraged because their children are being disciplined after another child gave them pills at school.
According to parents, a first grade student handed out green and blue capsules to at least eight other classmates.
Some students ate them, thinking they were candy. Others just dumped out the medication inside the capsule. One student alerted a teacher to what was going on.
All were given after-school detention.
Some of the parents refused the detention, saying their children were victims. Those parents say their children are now being threatened with suspensions.
One parent, Ariel Fields, decided to let her child serve the detention to learn a lesson.
“I don’t think that it should be swept under the rug,” Fields said. “This is a big deal, it’s drugs at school.”
Fields is upset, however, that her first-grade daughter got after-school detention for accepting what she thought was candy from another student
“My child didn’t bring the medicine to school, she was given the medicine as if it was candy,” Fields said.
