I just read about a case where a high school girl was suspended, and,
pending her family's suit, supposed to have to switch to a juvi.
school, all for taking motrin for menstruel cramps. Thankfully
the judge said this was nonsense, but the school board doesn't feel
that the month and a half suspension that has already been served is
enough punishment.



Eventually some kid is going to go to the doctor, find out they have
severe diabetes, come to school with insulin, have it confiscated, and
then either die or go into severe shock, or whatever that is called for
diabetes sufferers, and the school is going to get the pants sued off
of it. Then zero tolerance policies will be forcibly rethought
throughout the country, but I really think it will take a death to make
such happen. Maybe even several. I suppose this all started
with Columbine, but thank god the administration at my high school
cared more about the kids than their own sense of self-importance.
