But I agree with you blue, this sort of thing really should not be reduced to sueing and cash settlements.

In the end it has to be, since we have decided on capitalism as our economic system. Things you get for free do not get much attention, where something that costs you money does. A school board that gets a strongly worded letter will not pay attention. A school board that gets a $30,000 settlement which they have to explain to their voters does.
If we could find some way to give school boards detention, suspensions, or better yet corporal punishment when they do some mind-boggling stupid acts, I'd be all for it.
