SPRING LAKE, N.C. (AP) — A Harnett County teacher has been fired after school officials said she allowed biology students to prick themselves with lancing needles as part of an experiment and reusing the needles with other students.
Officials said Miyoshi McMillan of Overhills High School in Spring Lake conducted a lab Oct. 24 on blood typing.
School spokeswoman Patrician Harmon-Lewis says McMillian used a lab kit that included synthetic blood and seven lancets used to obtain drops of blood for testing.
Harmon-Lewis says McMillan provided the lancets for each lab group. She said after the students used the needles, they used alcohol swabs and saved the needles for the next class to use.
The school sent letters home with every student in the biology classes.
McMillan began as a substitute teacher in 2009.

Yeah, I'm sure it had nothing to do with your man's best friends with benefits arrangement you've got going with those dogs you 'rescue'.
This is why Freeman homeschools.

I don't love often, but when I do, I prefer fur.
At least this zero tolerance was for something that was truly dangerous. One wonders if she would have been fired or just place on adminstrative leave pending investigation if she was having students share needles to pass around heroin.
