A Massachusetts Public School Disciplines a Student for Helping a Friend
Watch Senator Ted Cruz at the Values Voters Summit

Notice the rudeness and intolerance of the Left and how well Senator Cruz deflates it! He will continue to be harassed by the Left since they have no ideas and therefore must act as children demanding what they want over all else! These people are governing our nation? It is the Chicago way! When will the American people get fed up with it and shut them down—politically speaking?

“Andover high school punishes student for being responsible
By GOPUSA Staff
October 16, 2013
ANDOVER, Mass.—A Massachusetts high school is standing by its decision to punish a student for drinking at a party, even though evidence has emerged that she was sober and only there to pick up a drunken friend.
Erin Cox, 17, was at a yogurt shop with pals last week when a friend texted her saying she was at a party and too drunk to drive, the Boston Herald reported. The friend asked Cox to come get her.
‘I felt like going to get her was the right thing to do,’ Cox told the Herald. ‘Saving her from getting in the car when she was intoxicated and hurt herself or getting in the car with someone else who was drinking. I’d give her a ride home.’
Cox drove to a home and pushed her way through the party crowd just as police showed up. They arrested a dozen underage drinkers and warned 15 youths that they'd be summoned to court to face charges.
Cox was one of those told she’d be summoned for drinking at the party—even though she says she wasn’t. Local police officer Brian Neeley confirmed that the teen was sober, even submitting a written statement on her behalf.
But Cox’s school, North Andover High, has a zero-tolerance policy regarding underage drinking. Cox was removed as captain of the school volleyball team and suspended for five games. The student’s family filed a lawsuit trying to reverse the decision, but the court rejected it, saying it doesn’t have jurisdiction to change the school’s policy.
‘The school is really trying to take a very serious and principled stand regarding alcohol,’ said Geoffrey Bak, a lawyer for the school district.
The Cox family has filed a lawsuit that the school district immediately argued against. A judge ruled that a court did not have any jurisdiction in this case. When contacted for comment, neither the school district nor its attorney provided one to Boston station WBZ-TV.
‘She’s very fragile and I’m worried about her. Very worried about her. She didn’t do anything wrong,’ her mother, Elanor Cox said.”

When I was a member of the Marana, Arizona School Board, we passed a completely redesigned discipline code. We also had a no tolerance policy for drinking alcohol on school grounds. However, we had a built in safety valve. Before a penalty was enforced, it could be directly appealed to the Board. In my four years, we only heard one appeal.
Our high school, built years earlier, was in the middle of the district out in the country surrounded by cotton fields. A female honor student, who needed a ride to a home football game, was in the car when the occupants were disciplined for drinking in the parked car on school property. She appealed to the Board.
At the hearing, everyone agreed she had not been drinking. She was in the car because she was given a ride to the school. We removed the imposed suspension.
Our principal complained that we were undermining his decision and the discipline needed in the district. I disagreed. We put the appeal policy in for this very reason. The principal followed the policy. We reversed the decision based on fairness and common sense. True fairness not the Barack Hussein Obama faux fairness nonsense. We took the responsibility. The buck stopped with us.
Common sense says you do not punish someone for doing good or for not doing anything wrong.

You will know them by their words and deeds!
Matthew 12: 35-37 (NIV)
“A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Matthew 11: 19b (NIV)
“But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”

Galatians 6: 7-9 (NIV)
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Video of Senator Harry Reid in 2006 on raising the debt ceiling to 9 trillion dollars!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELkbDdPeL7I
Now in 2013 they are increasing the debt to almost 18 trillion dollars! That is a doubling of the debt in 7 years!!! In 7 years! And now Harry Reid is claiming that it is essential that the debt limit be raised! What happened? The Democrats took control of Congress and the Presidency! And now all logic is just the reverse of what it was in 2006. They lied then or they are lying now!!!
