This is a sad, sad day. The teachers and school officials who suspended these kids should be put in prison and discover what real criminals are.

If the kids were playing 'cowboys and Indians' they'd probably be in a re-education camp right now.

Suspending kindergartners for being kindergartners is stupid, but so is a civil lawsuit. If the school has a policy, it has a policy.

Take the kids to another school. Problem solved.

One more reason to yank your kids out of public schools and either home school or put them in private schools. This stinks!

Has anyone looked at the judge's ruling? I don't know where to look myself, but something occurred to me. In many states there is no compulsory education until age 6 or 7 (which is beyond the kindergarten year.) If the state doesn't even require kids to go to kindergarten, maybe a lawsuit charging that the child was denied his rights to go to school would be considered moot. You can't usually sue to recover something you don't have an original "right" to in the first place. Maybe a lawyer out there could clarify.

"The court has affirmed what the board and district position has been all along, that we have the ability to make the decisions that are in the best interest of the children," Board of Education President Kevin Ciak said.

Doesn't this beg the question of why they don't make such decisions, then?
