Discrimination Our laws require equal treatment of all persons in equal circumstances regardless of gender, race, immigration status, language or sexual orientation. If a school has discriminated against a student for any of these or other reasons, the law provides you with protections. Richard Asselta, an education lawyer can help. School Discipline - While both public and private schools have the right to enact discipline, those rights are not unlimited. Did the student actually do something to be given the particular level of discipline? Was there an adequate investigation? Does the student have a defense and did he or she have an opportunity to present that defense? Did the school follow the procedures outlined in its handbook? Have other students been treated the same way in the past? These are all questions that can make a difference in determining whether or not you should have been subjected to discipline.
