WOW.. That is completely ridiculous. I hope the parents have the ability to move that kid out of the district or to a private school. A ten day suspension at the beginning of the year that keeps him out of the honors classes for not shaking his hand? Sounds like that principal has an AX to grind, and that there is history here. If it's really between the principal and the parents like it's implied here, why are they taking it out on the kid. What crazy judge upholds this decision.
