[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bringing a lawyer to the school board meeting is a waste of money, OP.  They'll tell you that you and the attorney should have at the school board hearing.

PP above. I still don't understand why OP threw her kid to the wolves at the school board meeting and is just now lawyering up.[/quote]

Hindsight is 20/20.  [b]Maybe OP didn't grasp that grown adults wouldn't get the difference between a 4 inch pocket knife locked in a car and a weapon brought into school to harm others.  [/b]Maybe she should have understood given the atmosphere we have around violence in school, but I don't think she was throwing her kids to the wolves.  She should still hire a lawyer who specializes in this area and has significant experience with the specific school district to see if there is anything that can be done to mitigate the results.  That's the best she can do at this point.  OP, if you're still on the thread, good luck and post back if you're able to have any of the decisions overturned. [/quote]

They know the difference. But they don't care. Very likely, they are not permitted to care. The rules are clear, they have to apply them.

If the schools were allowed to make distinctions between "weapons brought by good kids who intended no harm" and "weapons brought by bad kids who intended harm", then the resulting higher expulsion rate for certain minorities relative to whites and Asians would cause loud screams of outrage. If the schools are forced to choose between stupid, blanket zero-tolerance policies and "appearing racist", they will pick the former every time. This is another benefit of glorious diversity, yay![/quote]

Because if a non-Asian minority had a jack knife it couldn't possibly be for any reason other than to assault/rob/kill somebody. [/quote]
