I guess ol' Brody glossed over the "honor" part of that group's charter. A session of Saturday school? That's it? Heck, I'd hold their diplomas hostage and make them take summer school. And publicly appologize to the school staff and students at an assembly. They need to be humiliated. > "I only excused absences. Really, I had no reason to change my > grades. I am a 3.5 student," Brod told the Mountain Express. "Judge, the old lady's purse only had $20 in it. Come on, it's not like I made off with the weekly payroll! So just slap my wrist and let me go scampering off free." "ahem, you brandished a knife and stole from her. $20 or $2000 makes absolutely no difference" Seems our 'student' has learned one lesson very well. Our schools have taught them in the name of "self-esteem" that there is no such thing as moral standards. They can be interpreted to be anything you want and a sin is not a sin if it's only a little sin. Wait, 'sin' doesn't exist in the first place. Hey, can I strip a woman, tie her up and prance around naked but not actually rape her and get away with a trivial offense? I don't think so! Why not? And we wonder why the Catholic church selected a hardliner conservative for Pope. > "I believe the decision was discriminatory. It shows Noah was > singled out," said David Brod, Noah's father. Seems the father is just as much a product of the system. Yeah, let's play the victim card! "*whine* why are you picking on me?" If it was my kid, I'd be publicly praising the Board for taking my son to task and appologizing to the community for my son's shameful behavior. And impounding his car, and calling the college admissions office and turning down their acceptance letter. What happens or doesn't happen to the other kids is none of my concern. > The expulsion carried a list of conditions permitting Brod to return > the second semester.

I hope the judge tosses him out so hard on his ear he needs surgery to put it back on. Or to remove the boot from his backside. Wants to go to the Peace Corp does he? Figures. _________________________________________ InfoSec News v2.0 - Coming Soon! http://www.infosecnews.org
