A girl was suspended froms chool for taking a motrin for menstrual
cramps. She was also supposed to be sent to juvi. for a while,
but her family sued the school baord. A judge ruled that the
whole affair was nonsense and they could not make her go to juvi.
The school board refuses to listen and feels like she deserves more
punishment. That's as much as I know for now.



Some day some kid is going to go to his doctor, find out he's got
diabetes big time, and go to school with insulin. It will be
confiscated by a teacher, and the kid will die or go in to
ana-something or other shock, and zerrro tolerance policies across the
nation will hopefully be rethought. It may take several deaths or
severe injuries first. I thank god I went to high school before
Columbine, and that the teachers and administration there cared more
about kids than their own sense of self-importance. It really
does seem like teachers and administrators in public schools have the
idea that the school is theirs, and the students are just
visitors. They need to be reminded that they are there for the
kids and no other reason, and that they can be replaced.
