“Let’s say a 13-year-old girl admits she performed oral sex on a 13-year-old boy, while returning from a field trip on the school bus. In front of classmates who she was trying to impress. What do you do, Mom? Naturally, you go to court to claim suspension is unjust for the lovebirds because the school is ‘not clear in its written policies that oral sex on a bus was unacceptable behavior.’ Where does it say: ‘No oral sex on the bus,” huh?” (Joanne Jacobs, Sept. 16) A Pennsylvania judge dismissed the mother’s lawsuit (Bob Bauder, “Pupil’s expulsion appeal denied”, Beaver County (Pa.) Times, Sept. 3). Kimberly Swygert comments: “Um, mom? Fighting your child’s expulsion on these grounds is not what you should be concentrating on right now.” (Sept. 16)
