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. OK, my bad - given the theme of my message, pretty stupid of me not to spot that.
Honor could mean regular honor, distinguished honor....could be a mix of A's and B's....but granted, this kid is then obviously not a dullard.
However, the people who ARE idiots are those taking actions that have led to her being out of school for several weeks in a row.
