Brown vs. Board of Education
14 Amendment was put into place to end segregation in public schools. In doing this it combined colored and white students to be able to learn in the same classes, drink from the same water fountain and use the same bathrooms. This plays a big role today because though we have racism still, it could always be worse. Black and whites will always have their differences, but because of that law it shows that we are all equals. http://landmarkcases.org/en/landmark/cases/brown_v_board_of_education -

Honing vs. Doe
The “ten day rule” was made up from this landmark. IT protects the school/ teacher to be able to suspend students up to 10 days without parents consent. This is only put in place when a student with an IEP is getting to aggressive to where he/she cannot control their own behavior and start acting out with violence towards others. This case was made from a child who couldn’t control his behavior. His grandparents tried to say that it wasn’t his fault he acted that way because he had special needs -
Timothy W. vs. Rochester, New Hampshire, School District
A severe disabled boy was about to lose his right to go to school. Teachers saw him as a child who couldn’t learn due to his many disabilities. The zero-rejection policy protected Timothy. Courts argued that he could benefit from education that was dealing with different stretches and movements that could be beneficial to him. They also agreed that even though a child might seem like they can’t learn doesn’t mean they cant.
