Here's something to make the libs weep...
« on: March 24, 2018, 07:10:06 AM »
In a step for reason and sanity, the Georgia Supreme Court says that schools cannot expel students for defending themselves against an aggressor.

It just boggles my mind it had to go this far, though.

Henry’s attorney, Megan Pearson, disagreed with just about every point that Tafelski made, but agreed with one. Although the Supreme Court didn’t actually rule on whether self-defense applied in schools, the Appeals Court had, and the high court supported that ruling. “It was kind of a gray area about whether it strictly applied,” she said, “but now we know.”

Law 101: If an appeals court rules that a law applies, and a supreme court upholds that ruling, it more or less follows that the supreme court "ruled" that the law applies.

What a novel idea: laws apply even in schools. I hope some other states get the memo.

“The studies to date show that zero tolerance strategies have not achieved the goals of a safe and disciplined classroom,” he wrote in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Nursing. “On the contrary, some studies suggest that such strategies are harmful to students and may make schools and communities less safe.”

I don't think that's even Law 101.  More like remedial 5th grade Government.
