Zirkel, Perry A. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2001
In reversing an expulsion order for a high-school student suffering from (undiagnosed) ADD, a federal district court judge has limited schools' ability to punish students with disabilities for serious offenses like vandalism. Nondisabled culprits escaped expulsion by withdrawing from school. All three boys were criminally prosecuted. (MLH)
