The Wrong Lesson

|

Sarah Flickinger thought the nose stud one of her teachers had looked nice, so she got one herself. But when officials at California's Los Molinos Elementary School saw the stud, they ordered her to remove it. When she refused, they suspended the eighth-grader for three days for violating a school ban on nose piercings. That ban applies only to students. The teacher's nose stud breaks no school rules.
