As S.G. was walking away from school another student ran at them and pushed them. What pursued was seen as a fight, but actually was S.G. engaging in self defense. Due to the "zero-tolerance" policy, both students were expelled. The case went up to the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that just because someone participates in a fight does not give the school grounds to automatically expel them.]]> 2021-09-27 18:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1772124802 Impact of Henry v. S.G. hcrooken https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1772142696 Due to the Supreme Court of Georgia ruling that participating in a fight does not serve as a reason to have immediate punishment the "zero tolerance" policy schools in Georgia are going to have to make changes. They now have to investigate the reasoning behind the fighting AND determine if self defense was involved. Furthermore, schools will not be able to rely on the "zero tolerance" policy to shove the issues of the students aside. They will have to take the time to help the students involved in the altercation. ]]> 2021-09-27 18:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1772142696 News of Henry v.

Morgan cdiazgar https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1772161594 Dustin Seal, a high school student in Tennessee, was expelled based on a zero tolerance policy when his friend's knife was found in his car's glove compartment without him knowing it was there. He took action against the board, saying that the board expelled him without considering if he knew the knife was in his car or not and not presenting any evidence that it was there. He took it to the federal courts, claiming that the school board of education and the administration had violated his right due to process under the fourteen amendment. ]]> 2021-09-27 18:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1772161594 References cdiazgar https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1776506760 Grant, T.

Morgan cdiazgar https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1776544531 The district court concluded that the board and Superintendent Morgan were entitled to a summary judgement (which is when one or both parties agree to go without trail because they have evidence that will let them win the case) on Seal's fourteenth amendment claim.
(meaning that when, Seal stated that he knew his friend had a knife in his car because his friend ex-girlfriend boyfriend was following them throughout the night which is why his friend had the knife with them to feel protected, he practically stated he knew the knife was in his car which gave the board permission to present his statement to the judge and rule that Seal knew about where the knife was hidden along. ]]> 2021-09-29 02:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1776544531 The Impact of Seal v. Morgan cdiazgar https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1776548124 Based on this case, school boards should be more careful about applying the zero tolerance policy into there own school's policy without first taking all the measures and facts of the particular case. Schools need to carefully examine the nature of the offense and how it was committed instead of blaming students without fully examining the case and finding evidence to back up their statement.
"Schools need to make sure that
punishment for violations of such policies is not imposed in a knee-jerk way, without a proper consideration of
the student, the violation, and the surrounding facts and circumstances" (Smith 13).]]> 2021-09-29 02:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1776548124 News about Seal v.

This policy was originated in 1986 after the federal Anti-Drug Abuse Act. It was passed by congress as a response to the War on Drugs and declared it unconstitutional in the United States. This policy was created to punish any individual who possess a banned item for any reason done in ignorance, by accident, or under extenuating circumstances.]]> 2021-09-29 07:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1777243230 Changes Throughout the Years vlopez56 https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1777375054 The concept of the zero tolerance policies had changes throughout the years. It was first introduced to the school's environment in the 1980's. A couple years later, schools began to discontinue the use of zero-tolerance policies and school districts across the U.S began to implement their own zero-tolerance procedures. It was then changed and became stricter when the shooting of the Columbine High School happened in April 20, 1999. Due to this tragical event, schools had no other option, but to limit student's privileges and improving school's security and camera systems. Later on, the Educate America Act planed to improve the students behavior by setting eight goals for schools to reach by the 2000's. This procedures included police dogs sniffing belongings, taking away lockers, and putting metal detector machines. Nowadays, some rules are still being enforced like bringing transparent backpacks to school areas as well as metal detectors. ]]> 2021-09-29 08:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hcrooken/2egxhzequl3kelim/wish/1777375054
