$50,000 Claim Filed Over Girl's Time-out In School

A $50,000 lawsuit alleges that Greenfield Middle School teachers falsely imprisoned a girl when she was put in a time-out room, and that the experience caused the girl to hyperventilate, feel nauseous, and understand that some actions are unacceptable. Greenfield Superintendent Conrad Farner said he could not respond specifically to the allegations, in order to protect the privacy of the student, but said,"I'm confident that the district has acted in an appropriate manner and will continue to do so."

    Can we stop suing the damn schools?

    Maybe get a law passed that protects schools from doing what is necessary to make the kid shut the hell up for everyone else?

    There's just too much of this bullshit now. Too goddamn much.
