People, there is a reason lawyers do pro bono work

[conuly]

I believe the reason is "they're required to take a few pro bono cases", but at any rate you should never settle for blatantly illegal treatment. Never. And the reason people get away with this sort of crap is because nobody sues, nobody presses charges. Look, I hate this sue-happy nation too, seriously, but sometimes it's the only way to make the point. No court in the country would ever decide in favor of forced prayer in a public school (scroll to the comments). And given the ALREADY DECIDED illegality of the situation, five bucks says it'd be settled out of court. It's sitting around whining about how it's so bad that keeps things from changing!

Incidentally, I'm posting this as a public service. Some people really have no idea, they're not just making a conscious choice to settle. For those who have no idea, here's your chance.

The dude sounds like a total prick. I hope she actually does something and stirs things up and gets him fired.

Not gonna happen, she's graduating. She's going to sit through it and that's it.
