An Inclusive Litany
9/4/01
In Plant City, Florida, a six-year-old elementary school student
suffered only a minor bruise after a .22-caliber revolver that was
hidden in his pocket discharged. The boy was suspended for at least
ten days, but as a special-needs student protected by the Americans
with Disability Act, he will not be expelled from school under the
school's standard zero-tolerance weapons policies.
