her father was JUDGE Hornstine... wanna bet a democrap?

You've posted the two most interesting articles I've read tonight, this and O'Rourke's review of Hillarys book!! Thanks.

Its the manipulation game. Using the letter of the law to violate the spirit of the law. Sadly this only eliminates validictorians. Somehow I do not object. Besides the issue is moot. The hostility of the environment causing her not to go to graduation is a money ploy. She had better be ready to get a full body cavity search on her "illness".

I just wonder if she took any science classes, I see no say she did any lab work.

Oh yes, we have computer science and eco-whacko study.

Oh just bloody terrific!

She used her "disabled preferences" unethically, unequally, unfairly, and dishonestly achieved high school longer time limit tests and grade point level class standings get the "Congressional Gold Medal" that the US Congress wants to give to UK Prime Minister Tony Blair for his brave leadership in supporting the USA in the UN, Afghanistan, and Iraq with troops in combat.

Also for being the first foreign leader to visit New York City's "Ground Zero" WTC site after 9-11.

I find it difficult if not impossible to believe this "disabled" high school student could work out at private gyms, attend summer college courses, and run a volunter food and clothing bank for the homeless and needy if she could not possibly attend public school classes.

This retaking a course again a second time just for grade level points enhancement in which she had previously received an A+ is patently an unethical and dishonest method of achieving higher grade point scores then any full time student possibly could ever achieve.

Also her "MENSA" qualification and membership proves she should never been allowed to have longer times to take tests and exams then the other non-MENSA regular full-time students who were required to complete the tests within standardized time limits.

I qualified for MENSA at age 12 and wonder if her qualifications for MENSA were based on longer timed tests and SAT tests.

Also on the Minnesota Test for Mental Maturity.

I qualified on all, plus my HS psychology and logic scores or 99 percentile and later (not meaning to) in my US Army DOD and OCS tests during basic training.

Catch this garbage:

"For instance, Blair took Latin 1 in middle school, over the course of 7th and 8th grades.

Unusually, she then retook Latin 1 as a freshman--and got an A+.

During her sophomore year, Blair was enrolled in AP U.S. History and was taking it at the school with a teacher whose policy is to never give A+ marks.

But she dropped the course and finished it the following year at home, with a different instructor.
She got an A+.

*Blair was enrolled in gym class in 9th and 10th grades (receiving an A and A+, respectively). Just weeks before the end of her junior year, she received a doctor's note waiving her from gym altogether.

*Still, an A+ for the class showed up on her transcript.

*Her father wanted the grade removed, and since she shouldn't have been graded for a waived class, it was.

*As Kadri explained to the court, an A+ in gym is worth only 4.3, and thus would have lowered her cumulative GPA, which was well above 4.3 by that point.

At Moorestown High, the calculations for valedictorian are made at the end of the first semester senior year.

Just a few weeks before that semester ended, Blair dropped AP European History--one of the two courses she was taking at the school--citing exhaustion.

"The papers are killing her," Judge Hornstine told the child study team while trying to withdraw Blair from the class.

At the time, Blair had an A- in the class. It would have been one of the lowest grades of her high school career.

And while she was on home instruction, Blair's experience was markedly different from that of other students.

At the most basic level, she had about half as much class time as school-bound students, freeing her up for extracurricular activities.

(When asked by the Discover Card scholarship how she got everything on her résumé done, she replied, "There's plenty of time in the day!")

Her education plan stipulated that she would be allowed "more time to take tests and quizzes," and "will not be required to take more than one test or examination per day."

What's more, "When absent or significantly fatigued, teachers will make appropriate accommodations to due dates for assignments. The parents will advise teachers when Blair has been "too fatigued" or otherwise
unable to complete" or to submit work in timely fashion."

Shakespeare was right about lawyers, it should apply double for judges like her father, and her as she plans to go to law school (getting "disabled preferences" as in high school for courses and time to take test) and become an attorney.

All her college and law school professors and Harvard are now on notice that she and Judge Daddy throw around multi-million dollar civil lawsuits like a Frisbie.

--- Too bad the principal, school board, and their defense attorney did not get video taken (secretly) of her working out at her Chi Chi private gym.

Devasting with examination of her work-out video by a prominent physician and his or her testimony in court.

The school and their defense attorneys were fools.

Yes, another bloody Limo-Leftie-Lib ACLU type bloodsucking creep!

The "Blair B!tch"!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a disturbing suspicion that if this girl and her father were professing themselves to be Christians, and claiming that they had acted from those motives, some people in this discussion would be chortling over how the clever pair had snuck one over on the heathen school authorities, and lauding the father for making sure his daughter got the best education possible.

Perhaps I am wrong in this, but ....

Ah! Another Hillary in the making.

I find it very difficult to accept that this girl had "chronic fatigue" when you consider all the academic accomplishments and volunteer work she did over the years, not to mention the carrying of the Olympic torch. This girl has chronic fatigue about as much as President Bush is fat and out of shape. She should have been in school with her classmates.

Seems to me that what everyone SHOULD be talking about is the misuse of the ADA. This is what everyone should be worried about.

bttttttttttt

She probably has some minor "health issues" and she and daddy decided to milk them to the max. Turn them into an advantage.

Bump

Moral of the story: No one likes any kid that excels acadamically.

Rushing at light speed to an American caste system, God don't save us.
