Massachusetss school ignored police defense of girl they suspended

Despite having evidence in hand that Erin Cox, the 17-year-old volleyball player suspended for five days and stripped of her team captaincy because she went to an underaged alcohol party to rescue a friend in trouble, was not drunk and indeed was doing exactly what she said she was doing, the school ignored that evidence and punished her anyway. Boxford police officer Brian Neely wrote an email to the school specifically regarding why Cox was not arrested, cited or otherwise to be made legally accountable for her presence at the party.

Even now that the email from Neely has come to light, the school administration isn't apologizing or willing to admit they blew it. From the same story on FoxNews.com ...

This idiot's blind allegiance to a stupid "zero-tolerance" policy may cost Cox a shot at a Division I scholarship. Despite having outstanding career statistics, Cox is, according to her lawyer, getting mixed responses from potentially interested college programs.

Because she did the right thing? What a load of horse hockey!!

 

If she doesn't get a D-I offer, I think she should sue the school district for the cost of the education she won't be able to get at the school she most likely would have accepted an offer from.
