Teen throws a small carrot at teacher's forehead, faces assault and battery charges.
A 14 year old student from Virginia is in hot water after pelting her teacher in the forehead with a 2 inch carrot.
Earlier this year, the teen walked out of class and ran into an old teacher of hers. That's when the teen threw the carrot at the teacher's forehead.
The student was suspended from school and is facing assault and battery charges. The student's mother is baffled as to why her daughter is facing charges:
"I don’t understand this Yes, it happened, and I can see a couple of days in school detention or even a couple days out-of-school suspension. But this goes way beyond that. We have to go to court, and her charges aren’t small: assault and battery with a weapon."
So I guess vegetables aren't good for us after all...
In all seriousness though, while I do believe the student should be punished for disrespecting a teacher, I don't see a carrot as being a dangerous weapon. I mean, if it was deep fried, that would be one thing (that sh*t goes straight to the hips and a**, am I right, ladies?). This carrot was still in its birthday suit. No harm, no foul.

Is there going to be a ban on carrots now?
