<p>back up a second, (please). </p>
<p>The article states, "but did not erase the 10-day suspension she received for offenses related to the seizure of the journal including disrespectful conduct,"</p>
<p>So, we don't really have all the facts. It sounds like her 10 day suspension was not for what she wrote, not for making terroristic threats, but for something else. Did she refuse politely to turn over the journal? The school apparently thinks her behavior warranted the suspension, journal entries aside.</p>
<p>And secondly, even if the school "expunges" her record, the suspension still happened. They can't change that. I don't see how she could honestly answer "no" to the question, "Have you ever been suspended from school? If yes, explain." I don't care if she receives a presidential pardon. She was suspended and if asked, she should honestly answer that she was suspended, and explain it.</p>
