Red Eyes Get You Suspended
Student suspended for 90 days (then reduced to 5) because he had red eyes. That seems reasonable!
In the suit filed Thursday in Fairbanks state court, attorneys for Frey and his father Martin Frey allege that school staff ordered Anthony to submit to a nurse's eye exam after he displayed red eyes on the last day of school.
The results of the test, called a ''rapid eye exam,'' resulted in vice principal Ted Scoles ordering Anthony, a freshman at the time, to provide within 24 hours a urine sample that would be tested for drugs.
Anthony was expelled for the first 90 days of the upcoming school year after his father refused to have his son provide the sample, the suit states. Anthony Frey said his eyes were red not because of drug or alcohol use but because he had stayed up late the night before studying for two final exams.
