Yesterday, Darnell was expelled from school. His family found out late last night that he was expelled until January 2013.
He will miss months of school and I'm not sure if he has alternative school as an option.
Indystar.com reports:
Well, if he's expelled, what about the 6 kids who bullied him? What's their punishment?
"I couldn’t believe that they did it," Grimes said. "They really kicked him out."
Grimes and Young can appeal to the Indianapolis Public Schools school board and the courts if necessary, but Grimes said they're still weighing their options. Young said he plans to get his GED and go to college.
As I said before, I have a hard time with this one. i think he and his family could have done something, with the school, the district, the school board, local politicians, even the media, rather than allow him to take a weapon to school.
ReplyDeleteI wish he wasn't bullied, but a stun gun is not the answer.
