SOUTH ORANGE, New Jersey: A 12-year-old student has been suspended after school officials accused him of threatening a teacher with a deadly weapon -- peanut butter biscuits.It could have been worse... he could have threatened to use Pork Brains in Milk Gravy.
Jules Gabriel has been banned from class since April 2 after allegedly threatening to use the biscuit on a teacher who is highly allergic to peanuts.
His father, Loubert Gabriel, admitted his son had a packet of Nutter Butter brand biscuits and made a comment about having "something dangerous". But he added: "They mishandled this."
School superintendent Peter Horoschak said several classmates said Jules waved a biscuit over his head and said he would use it against the teacher to prevent being put on detention.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
