parents sue school for sons allergy plan

An elementary students parents sued Fox Chapel Area School district because they made the child sit alone in the cafeteria because of his deadly nut allergy. Sitting alone caused other students at this school to taunt and tease the student. Fox chapels district spokeswomen said the did not owe the students family anything. The school district also put false truancy accusations and kept delaying hearings on them. I think the school should pay a small fine for humiliating the student.

FBI question suspect

The United States became aware of Ali Ani al Harzi when he  posted details of the attack on social media while it was happening. The united states requested that Ali Ani al Harzi would be detained by the Turkish government after he left Libya. The united states then investigated him with the help of Tunisian government. This is all because Ali Ani al Harzi was attached to the murders of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed September 11.
