“discolored” sounds Racis’......

The Constitution ends at the border of the public schoolyard. And this act of petty tyranny is reason #1,294,763 why my kids will never go to a public school.

Sounds like the higher ups acted reasonably in this case. They got the facts, sent a plumber to fix the problem and they will make sure the suspension is taken off her record.

How many weeks before a self-declared transgendered student is called into the principal’s office for taking “pictures” in the girl’s restroom?

[LouAvul]

Public education probably began as a noble idea, but morphed into an abominable waste of time, money and resources. Not unlike our founding fathers establishing three branches of government.

Of some ‘plumbing ‘

Do a simple internet search on "Ye old deluder Satan act" and you will see the first public education law was written to teach people to read the Bible.

this is a case of an idiot school administrator that does not want to make judgment calls....the way to of handle this was to take care of the problem and just give a verbal warning about cameras in the bathroom. suspension is a serious thing especially for any child that is struggling in school.

I was a special ed student and struggled to even graduate when I was a student. missing three days of instruction was enough to sabotage my grades majorly when I was going to school. I look at suspensions as something that should be done for will full disobedience in school. this was not that this was man this is gross I will put it on social media.

[LouieFisk]

Yeah, the school did fix things, but the suspension was an overreaction in my book. They could have used common sense instead.

A water leak

Every little thing doesn’t need to be photographed with a cell phone and posted to the internet. A water/plumbing problem should be reported directly to responsible school officials, not posted on the internet.

Students need to develop a little common sense to go with their smart phones. Maybe a suspension was too much on the school’s part, but the girl was trying to bring public attention to a very minor problem.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Common sense .... surely you jest!

[riverdawg]

Common sense is an uncommon attribute of many public education administrators today.

You mean, as in, "Dis colored."?

[Maudeen]

While they were at it, they should have tested the water.

Resonably would also include removing the idiots who suspended the kid. Those people were trying to cover up a health hazard instead of dealing with it.

[Paladin2]

Yeah, that whole colored thing is non-PC. I’m surprised that kids are allowed to have anything but black “lead” pencils/crayons.
