In all, ninety-three names were read aloud in the high school auditorium—seventy-four classroom teachers, plus reading specialists, guidance counselors, physical education teachers, the school psychologist, the principal and three assistant principals.” [Jennifer D.

How do you think these arguments would fare in court?
