Joan Heffington, who has run for governor of Kansas and was taken to court by the state attorney general, is suing Derby Public Schools because her son was cut from the marching band.
Heffington said in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court that her 17-year-old son is being denied his right to an education.
She claims her son has special needs and Derby has not given him accommodations as required by law.
The focus of the lawsuit is Heffington’s son, a trombone player who was cut from the marching band. ———————————————
Hey ma, a lawsuit does not a trombone player make.
