In a shocking, horrifying incident at Shawnee Mission East High School, a Black student was hospitalized after being attacked by a white male student. Despite being the victim, she faces suspension in a case highlighting systemic racism and administrative negligence.
Then it’s time to fire all Shawnee Mission East’s administrators.
Or fire all the parents.
Or just, yknow, tort reform.
Tort reform isn’t the solution here. Tort reform is used as a cudgel to let bad actors get away with bad actions with minimal consequences. What needs to happen is the State AG needs to step in and defend schools in these cases so the school districts aren’t left to their own legal defense.
But doesn’t that depend on how it’s enacted? Writing new laws can go however the author wants it to.
