A new law in effect today requires all Missouri school districts to address the issue of cyber-bullying in their discipline policies. But for Columbia Public Schools and other districts that already have those policies in place, the law will have little effect. Columbia added the phrase "cyber-bullying" to its anti-bullying policy when the school board revised policies in 2007, district spokeswoman Michelle Baumstark said.
S. District Court, District of Columbia, Judge Paul L. Friedman will give the keynote address at the University at Buffalo Law School's 116th commencement at 1 p.m. on May 21 in the Center for the Arts at the UB North (Amherst) Campus. Judge Friedman was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in 1994 by President Bill Clinton. A 1968 cum laude graduate of the UB Law School and a graduate of Buffalo's Bennett High School, Judge Friedman was assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia from 1970-74, where he was part of the original U.S. Attorney team that investigated and prosecuted the Watergate break-in.
The United States system of funding schools with local property tax dollars leads to qualitative disparities across school districts. It is crucial that state courts address this problem, since no federal right to education exists. Students and parents have successfully challenged these funding systems in many states, but courts in seven states - citing the political question doctrine - have refused to review these claims. It appears that most of these states lack a coherent political question history and have used the prudential standing doctrine to avoid education claims specifically. This Note argues that the political question doctrine should not be used as an excuse to ignore educational adequacy cases in states with an affirmative constitutional right to education.
