Anti-truancy rule unsafe for this student?

PITTSBURGH — A federal court in Pennsylvania will allow a high schooler to proceed with his constitutional claim against Pittsburgh’s public school district after he suffered a brain injury during his fourth fight with a classmate in five months. The student’s family argues that administrators knew of prior fights and the risk of harm, but still required the boy to come to school under threat of truancy without implementing adequate protections for his safety — a theory that a jury could find the district liable under.
