ACLU asks schools to excuse students involved in riots
In the days after the rioting outside Mondawmin Mall, which sparked
rioting in other parts of Baltimore, city schools CEO Gregory Thornton
said that students who participated in the incidents would face
consequences.

Civil Liberties Union, Maryland Disability Law Center, Advocates for
Children and Youth, and Office of the Public Defender -- issued a joint
statement asking the school system to employ "restorative practices,"
such as community service and anger management counseling, rather than
expulsion. [GOPUSA]
