Goss v. Lopez | 419 U.S. 565 (1975)
February and March of 1971 proved a tumultuous time for the Columbus, Ohio, public schools, marked by large-scale student unrest over racial issues. School officials responded by suspending students involved in these disturbances. Among those suspended was Dwight Lopez. Lopez’s decision to fight back led to a constitutional confrontation with the school system in the case of Goss versus Lopez.
In 1971, Lopez and eight other named plaintiffs were high school students in the Columbus, Ohio, Public School System. At that time, Ohio state law required local districts to provide a free education to all children between the ages of six and twenty-one. A statute also authorized a public-school principal to suspend a student for misconduct for up to ten days without notice or hearing. Lopez and the other students were all suspended from school for ten days for behavior related to school disturbances. None of them received notice or a hearing before being suspended.
The students sued the Columbus Board of Education and Columbus school administrators, including Norval Goss. They sought a declaratory judgment that the statute was unconstitutional because it deprived them of their right to an education without due process, in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. The students sought to enjoin school officials from future suspensions, and to clear any mention of past suspensions from their records.
A three-judge district court panel ruled that the statute was unconstitutional and ordered school administrators to remove all references to the students’ suspensions from their files. The administrators appealed directly to the United States Supreme Court.

Why is the one chick holding an "end racism now" sign? lol makes no sense.

@@yevgeniyzharinov7473 the school district loss 5-4. The court ruled that Lopez deserved a fair hearing and notice under the fourteenth amendment.
@@Nonprofitdropout2020 you mean fourteenth amendment.
@@yevgeniyzharinov7473 yes thank you!
@@Nonprofitdropout2020 I'm discussing this case in grad school. If I understand it correctly, the court ruled that the school has to at least document a verbal warning before giving 10 or more days suspension. I could be wrong, we're in the middle of pulling it apart, but that's what I took away from this week's class discussion.
