Well...This is funny. I am a Camden resident and know the whole story. Farting has not been banned from the school. The 8th graders have a fake newspaper they publish every month and this was one of the 'joke' stories because a student farted in class. The fake paper was brought home and a parent who works for a local paper wrote a story about it. Then other media organizations wrote stories about it as well, without doing any fact checking. It was on the national news and USA Today, all because an 8th grader got a funny idea for a fake classroom newspaper. This just goes to show how much a story can be blown out of proportion and how much research goes into the news that is delivered to the public. Sorry to rain on anyones parade, but this entire story was made up by a 14 year old.
