Nick,

Here they sue the schools for flunking a kid, and they sue for passing and graduating a kid who can't read. While the latter group may have more of a case, the schools cannot win.

Lung cancer has devastated my family but even though the tobacco companies were underhanded in how they developed and marketed their products, no one forced anyone to smoke or chew or not to quit. Families have been awarded millions in our wonderful "tort system". Hardly a system, more like a lottery.
