“Neither cruel nor unusual punishment?” Somehow school boards and college disciplinary proceedings can suspend for long periods and even expel students for “crimes” which are not even misdemeanors outside the hallowed halls of academe. The perps don’t have Miranda rights nor an attorney looking out for them (unless they can afford one, and have enough advance warning to engage one). Due process as we know it in the real world hardly exists. Proceedings are virtually star chamber. Appealing is pointless, because there is practically no legalities to challenge, and there is no body of precedents which has any weight. If one child gets three days for a behavior which another child gets a year’s suspension, so what?
