    A father is suing his son's Northern California school district for throwing the boy out of an honors English class after he was caught cheating. The sophomore at Sequoia High School in Redwood City copied someone else's essay, which aside from being just plain wrong, also goes against the "honesty pledge" students sign at the beginning of the class, making it explicitly clear that any cheating will result in expulsion from honors courses. Clear cut, right? Well, the dad is pointing out a conflicting school policy that says students won't be punished for cheating until the second time they're caught. Um, can the second incidence of cheating be this dad trying to cheat the school system and bend the rules for his kid?

    And people wonder why Californians screwed up several states like Oregon when they mass migrated in from there. :pimp:

    Solution is exceedingly simple.

    Just come back to school anyway. Don't provide a SSN and say his name is Hector Rodriguez and doesn't speak English.

    My guess is your an international spy and playboy. You're only at S2 as a cover to try and convince those dark agents chasing you that you're really just some ordinary dope. VERY convincing indeed!

    When spies catch a K-3 school principal, it's a big notch in their belt.

    Ok, that's pretty funny. Wonder what they were thinking when they wrote that policy.

    Cheating prepares you for the corporate world.

    Of course. No one cheats in the other 49 states. Or the District of Columbia. Or any commonwealth or trust territory. Only in California.

    California seems to have a higher than average amount of Teacher sexual abuse of children.

    California is the armpit of America. As somebody living in California, this story comes as no surprise.

    Nope. Crazy liberal government going bonkers. illegals being given in-state tuition. corrupt government. huge pensions. just the tip of the ice berg. I just stopped caring about it for the most part, ignore all the bullshit and just live my life.

    Its still a nice place to live...the weather is great. No denying that. Lots of things to do. Its just the schools, government, infrastructure all suck major balls.

    Holy fuck, LAUSD (school district) is 73% Latino. That's mind boggling.
