My befuddled memory recalls a school district in Florida being taken to court by the parents - after the suspension of course.

I seem to remember that it was the parents arguement that BECAUSE the child was not permitted to argue self defense under the existing rules (I think the rules required a hearing for a suspension greater than 3 days), the child was not afforded due process.

I don't remember the outcome.

Well, thanks for trying. This kind of thing really bothers me, but I haven't found anything where this particular zero tolerance policy has been contested in court.
