My name is Claudia-Joy Neff, and on September 13, I was suspended for five days. I had made an empty but violent threat countering another student's threat, but I appear to have been the only one of the two of us who was punished. And I am not using the word punished lightly, either. I was kicked off of the JV volleyball team, uninvited from homecoming, and am currently being asked to write a letter of resignation from my position in office as the class of 2027's vice president at Patapsco High School. I'd also like to bring into light that this was my first ever offense of any kind, however the other student has had several other problems with the school administrators. I did make a very big mistake in making a harmful threat against the school, and I apologize on behalf of the students, teachers, and administrators of Patapsco, but I want justice. I feel that given that it was my first offense, and the administrators did not handle the situation correctly and hold the other student accountable for their harmful actions too, I should AT THE VERY LEAST get my right to homecoming back.
