The Letter of the Day is was "U".

"U" is for Unlawful. Some of the unlawful things that students are getting arrested for include wearing a shirt that is too short and turning off the lights in the bathroom.

A local court official says only 2 percent of students referred to the juvenile justice system had committed a serious offense, such as assaulting a teacher.

So 98% of the things that these kids are getting arrested are for the things I used to get sent to detention for? I guess "U" is also for "Unbelievable".

Also see the Joanne Jacobs post that the CS&W post refers to. The ultimate source is a NYT article and I don't link those because they require registration.
