honestly, I support this. A school shouldn't give you a diploma if you don't meet the standards for it.

The only thing is: what damages can she possibly be expected to be awarded? The school is likely a public school so its not like she paid to attend. If anything its the DoE that should be paid damages. Or the city.

It's not worth 3 million and how much of it is her own fault

While I am loathe to defend a nog, minors aren't 100% legally responsible for their actions (its why we separate them into their own category) and its often on the authority figures in charge to actually force them into actions for their own good.

Now we know nigs are basically impossible to actually teach or control in class, but that's why we shouldn't consider diplomas "a given" that every child must have and we can stop pretending "Everyone needs education."

Anyway it's like suing the school for being short.

Can't help stupid.

Ah, that's what I get for making an assumption based on the title.

If she was a nog, she wouldn't care. Beaners are at least smart enough to know when they are being screwed over.

Justice system needs a way to do punitive damages that don't all go to the plaintiff.

This kind of case should have to be a class action so it's at least split between all the kids that were given a pass - or really it should be all the kids in the school because everyone had their education impacted by classes with illiterate students in them.

I support this too, not because I think the school has any debt to her, but because I want schools to worry about the potential consequences of giving a free pass to barely-literate retards more than they worry about “being mean” by holding them back.

The city will wind up paying the judgment since the school system is part of the city government.

If they pay, it's a very expensive precedent to set.

How many more of them cant read and are therefore up for a $3M payout?

85% of urban blacks (which is most of them) are functionally illiterate.

It's a reality no one wants to confront.

They can barely speak in clear sentences, and forget about actual grammar. It's astonishing.

In a just world the school would be threatened with closure if their next graduating class can't even read their diploma.

Exactly. Whatever happened to flunking kids and holding them back a grade?
