SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Two students are taking the Sioux City school district to court over bullying.

The ninth-graders say the district failed to protect them from being bullied and assaulted.

The lawsuit has been filed in Woodbury District Court by Ricky White Thunder, a student at West High School, and his sister, Jackie White Thunder, who transferred from West to Hoover Alternative School.

My children go to West Middle and have been bullied, threatened, and attacked physically; and the School Board refuses to grant their transfer to another school. What grounds do I have to sue, and how do I go about the process.

I have the exact same issue as Melissa with my children, the Sioux City school board will do nothing without "evidence", what about the bruise on the top of my daughter;s forehead?

About "The Gate"

The Court Speaks

  • That [schools] are educating the young for citizenship is reason for scrupulous protection of Constitutional freedoms of the individual, if we are not to strangle the free mind at its source and teach youth to discount important principles of our government as mere platitudes. West Virginia v. Barnette (1943)

    It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights ... at the schoolhouse gate. Tinker v. Des Moines (1969)
