Sanity Can Prevail 

You may recall a couple months ago, when I wrote about a lawsuit that a high school student and his father were bringing against a local school district for assigning summer reading as homework. According to this story, the suit was just tossed out:

A judge has tossed out a Wisconsin high school student's lawsuit asking for summers free of homework and may order him to pay the state's costs, court officials said on Wednesday.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Richard Sankovitz on Tuesday called 17-year-old Peer Larson's suit frivolous and said his complaint should be directed at the school board.

The Wisconsin attorney general's office may ask the judge to order Larson to pay the state's court costs.

Amazing how sanity prevails from time to time. I was getting worried for a minute.
