And they are so easy to find.

Bow High School (N.H.) senior Isabel Gottlieb, whose school refused to grant her a waiver for the required gym course (Building Essential Skills for Tomorrow), which interfered with her already heavy schedule that includes two Advanced Placement classes and calculus. Rather than grant a waiver from the PC-sounding "gym" course, the fine educators at Bow told Gottlieb she had to drop one of her AP courses to to take gym. Teen skips gym, loses diploma.

The same voices that are so concerned about this story of the boy whose mother is in Iraq are usually by far the most concerned with maintaining absolute law and order in the classroom. I think it is really just the patriotic angle that changes what they are writing in this case.
