not a threat, just a suggestion and a prayer

May Clarence Thomas someday be pulled over by police and strip-searched for drugs.

For the other 8 justices who actually had a brain and realized children actually do have rights, THANK YOU!

Now, how about throwing out the rest of the zero-tolerance bullshit policies of the lazy-ass school system administrators while you're at it?

Should add this: Taylor was the first member of her family to graduate high school *ever.* She'd been in foster care since age 2, and her foster family mentored her to success so that she could graduate.

She got her diploma in the mail and all ... and the publicity around here provoked a number of corporations to put up some college money for her.

In the end, though, she was punished for doing the right thing because of a "one size fits all" rule that just didn't.

It's obvious in the case you cited that someone was mad at this little girl and "narked" on her, as we used to say. It reminds me of how Iraqis would tattle on people they were mad at so that their homes would be destroyed; my friend E's translator's house was torn up, while he was shouting in English to the American soldiers and showing them his Green Zone ID, that he was not the person he wanted.

The soldiers, of course, found nothing ... and left E's translator's home with no front and back doors, the armoires where the family clothing was stored destroyed, and so on. Because the translator's brother-in-law was mad at him. I kid you not.

Same thing exactly.

actually the Iraq and Afghan situation is worse: there are people in Gitmo today that are only there because a political/tribal rival (in come cases, families that had disagreements going back to the Sunni-Shiite split, even if they're actually of the same sect) narqed on them for the reward money.
