Except the board deliberating and passing judgement had a victim of the hacking on it, and chose to completely ignore the fact that this student was in class with mamy witnesses when some of the hacking events occured according to the logs.

This is pretty normal for K-20 committees though, they operate as extrajudicial kangaroo courts that can easily acrew students out of their education and labor.

now that you mention it, that's a starkly direct conflict of interest.

Yes, even arbitration doesn't have direct, show stopping conflicts of interest like this.

The K-20 education sphere loves its kangaroo courts though, most LGBTQ+ people I know have been cheated of their high school diploma by this scam perpetuated by school administrators.

Don't be different in any way, lest an administrator chooses to boot stomp you amd refuse to acknowledge you ever took courses at their school.

Do you mind saying more? I've never heard of this before.

Most non-straight people I know did not graduate high school. Its a serious issue, and those that did generally flew under the radar and appeared straight until college.

I know one trans person who was set to go to an Ivy League school (incrediby adept at mathematics) that got outed and has been relentlessly harassed by both their parents and school.

I've been trying to encourage them to fire high school and go all Running Start, cause it ain't gonna get better wrt the school administrators being horrid. They likely won't graduate if things fail to improve.

Edit: This is in Seattle Public Schools proper, Bellevue, Northshore and other districts are on point about expelling those that cop to not being straight or cis. Its been painful to watch bright kids get needlessly ejected from the system that is supposed to provide them an education.
