Ok so some racist @$$hole decides to write a very racist slur on a students locker, and that victimized student goes way over the top in his reaction. He decides to sue the school for *dramatic pause* 5 MILLION DOLLARS!!!

Seriously people there were CBS and NBC news vans at the school doing stories and stuff.

CBS link: http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_058115826.html

I personally think that the guy went way over the top with the suing (correct word?) of the school and everything. Like I know that the "N Bomb" is a very horrible thing to say but c'mon, 5 million dollars. I dont think my school even has 5 million dollars.....

I'm not quite sure why he is suing the school, maybe because he doesn't know who did it?

The school couldn't really do anything, could they? I mean, there are Education Confidentiality laws that prevented the schools from releasing documents to prove to the parents of Orr that action was/was not taken against the students that did it..

well regardless of who did the school IS suppose to keep their facilities clean. so during the school day their staff SHOULD have noticed something like that happening in the first place. but if it happened at night then the school have made sure things were blocked off or locked with those hallway gates and stuff.

so in a way the school could have a little part in why this happened but still they shouldnt get drilled like that for it. and 5 mill is WAYYY too much to be suing the school for in this case. and probably in any case for that matter.

lol the staff at my school are freaking retarded. Although it was amusing to see the varsity football coach tackle some kids a few months back to break up a fight.....


Back on topic: The school has maybe 3-6 teachers in the hallways at any given time (usually reading something or talking to each other, never noticing anything that happens in the halls), and our lone security guard can barely do anything with his flashlight and modified golf cart.

At least yours got a golf cart lol.gif

Although, I think my former High School's security guard would rather keep his pistol

My school is full of racists, they call people something very bad. It's a daily thing.
I really don't like this

I can't understand how people can have racist thoughts when they're living in a rich country like Norway (or whatever Scandinavian country you live in tongue.gif)
Low-class people, i guess.

Actually that whole thing started after Orr (the guy filing the lawsuit) filed the lawsuit.

To be honest, I think Orr is right to sue the school; it is the responsibility of the school's administration to prevent stuff like this, and clearly they failed at that.
On the other hand, 5 million dollars is way more than he could expect reasonably. I would think $100,000 would be an absolute limit for something like this.
