MT's Verizon post got me fired up again... On my way to work, my wife called and said she had received a call from the high school that my oldest daughter (16) attends. They suspended her for having a nose piercing. Around Xmas, she spent $70 of her own money to get a tiny stud in one of her nostrils. Of course, there are other students with similar piercings. This one teacher is the only one who has ever made a comment and today took her to the principal for discipline. (She got the piercing right after Xmas and today is Jan 20. Now, all of a sudden, it's a bad thing?) The suspension paper said she had to remove it before coming back to school. The guy who did the piercing said not to remove it for eight weeks. Well, that's still five weeks away. So, do we lose the $70 piercing or do we fight it? I, and my wife, are ready to fight this. I told my daughter to cover it with a small bandage, then tell them "it is taken care of", but not to lie and say she removed it. My daughter has had some problems with friends and got into some trouble. Her grades suck and she hates school. We finally got her interested in school again where she is studying like she has never studied before. Now, they kick her out of school for this crap. Are public school systems this fekked-up everywhere or just Warrick County, Indiana? M!ke
