I’m lawsuit shy... think that’s not generally the way things should be settled. That being said, if the teacher actually set up and condoned that experiment I think at the very least the same should be performed on his nether regions.
Given the overwhelming lack of detail in the story it’s hard to tell though.
I read it as the teacher didn’t stop them. Probably wasn’t paying attention.
“Kyle Dubois and his parents claim teacher Thomas Kelley did not warn Dubois and other students of the dangers of the electrical demonstration cords. . . “
It’s a failure to warn lawsuit. Not a “the teacher condoned” lawsuit. This kind of lawsuit is why every tool manual starts with 16 pages of warnings. Someone does something stupid with a tool. A lawyer brings a failure to warn lawsuit, the company adds another page to their warnings.
