Fuck AI

I'm not really concerned about word choice here, so no worries.

I would wager that this has little or no effect on school choice unless he's actively in the application process now, and even then it's not like there's a disclosure that needs to be made (i.e., please check this box if you're engaged in active litigation).

Having watched election- and politics-related lawsuits for basically 8 years in the US, it seems like for enough money you can get a lawyer on board for just about anything. I can also imagine this as a potential "easy win": sue a public school to death and bury in paperwork, they eventually settle out of court because the cost is less than fielding a team of lawyers on public tax dollars. This is, of course, provided the case isn't just dismissed out of hand. IANAL but this flavor of approach is pretty successfully used by patent trolls.

I have a hard time seeing ANY additional depth to this story: teachers don't work in a vacuum, schools aren't typically litigious, and the school pre-releases their expectations in a handbook. If this is a loser, the admin says sorry and reverses grades much more easily than going to court.

Seems like this is simple entitlement fueled by money to me.
