Yes it does. "....This is a case about a family's right to send a 14-year-old honor student to public school ...." - which means she's probably has all A's and *maybe* one B.

I'm not so sure about the "Church of Body Modification" argument that the ACLU is using - but geeeze why the hell suspend the kid just because she wants to wear a tiny nose piercing anyway? THAT'S what is idiotic here.
