PENN HILLS, Pa. (AP) - Critics say it's an overreaction. Some elementary school students in Pennsylvania got suspended for mixing up sugar and Kool-Aid crystals -- and calling it "Happy Crack."
Officials in the Penn Hills School District said the kids were imitating drug activity. They put the mixture in plastic bags and labeled it "Happy Crack."
But some parents don't think that should have gotten the students suspended from Shenandoah Elementary School.
And at least one school board member agrees. She says the colored mixture looked like the grainy candy found inside Pixy Stix -- and she didn't see anything wrong with it.
The principal and school superintendent haven't commented on the incident.
