A Medina High School sophomore who was suspended after a fight at school has appealed the punishment, arguing the school should give students a right to defend themselves.
The 15-year-old girl’s attorney, Brent English, said his client served the suspension but wants it removed from her record. The appeal was filed Jan. 2 in Medina County Common Pleas Court.
“The argument they’re trying to make is that students don’t have a right to self-defense in schools, and I just think that’s wrong,” English said. “You can’t fairly suspend or punish a student for simply defending themselves.” |

| The suspension won't affect anything on this person's record, unless a military academy is in the works. Schools look at transcripts and extra-curricular activities. If suspensions were considered, most college athletic teams wouldn't be able to find enough athletes. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
