<p>Id - Thanks for the clarification. It does seem to me that LeftHandOfDog has suggested an excellent course of action -- describe the incident (briefly!) and offer to show colleges the journal. </p>
<p>Given the "zero tolerance" policies prevalent in today's school environments, colleges may have had this situation many times before. Regardless, I think explanation is much preferable to a lawsuit for reasons LHOD so nicely summarized.</p>
