The U.S, Supreme Court in the case Serafin v. School of Excellence in Education (Case No. 07-9760) refused to review a case brought by an 18 year old student for injuries she suffered when she was paddled in school for a minor infraction of school rules. This case could have had far reaching consequences relating to student's substantive rights in school (perhaps even special students). Given the current environment, that is so excessively focused on order even at the expense of law this case should not be so surprising.
