also the 2nd referall was due to a argument and foul language.
if he is being punished for the 3 by the court system then they
are violating his freedom of expression. i understand that the
school cant let them act that way but when the local govt gets
involved and punishes him for it isnt that aginst the 1st
ammendment even if the courtorder is legal it cant be legal to
jail a student in a detention center based on a referrall for
expressing himself. because it takes 3 referrals of any
offence. and his 2nd waqs due to him expressing himself at
school. i will get copys of referrals monday. thanks
