text: First of all, calm down and stop shouting. Your anger is also affecting your ability to form proper sentences and use spell check. To be able to communicate effectively with "the powers that be", make sure all your language skills are up to snuff.\n\nThat being said - you started out by saying that "I go to" a vocational school, and somewhere in there, it changed to "they kicked me out". Which is it? Have you been expelled?\n\nIf so, you have several options, and the ACLU isn't one of the more useful ones, as it doesn't appear that your expulsion is the by-product of any of your civil rights being violated.\n\nStart by asking the administration of the school to provide you with a detailed record of your history there, including grades on all tests/exams, as well as attendance. Will this record show that you were completing the coursework successfully? Will it show that you were there when you were supposed to be, and that all assignments were submitted on time, and passing grades were given to them?\n\nThe point is, the school has to be able to show that you were expelled because of not meeting the criteria for passing. You cannot be expelled simply because you (and another student, if I am to understand this correctly), brought a potentially unsafe condition to the attention of the appropriate party there.\n\nIf, after reviewing your records, you determine that you did, indeed, meet the criteria for passing, then your next step would be to call and request a meeting with the school's administrator. Ask that person to put in writing their reason(s) for expelling you. Have your records in your hand, and ask the administrator to review them, to give them an opportunity to rescind their decision to expel you. If, after doing this, the administrator still doesn't agree that the expulsion was unwarrented, then your next step would be to contact the governing agency for the school, likely the Michigan Department of Education (at the state level). You can find their phone number in the pink government pages of your phone book. Call them, explain your situation, and ask for a hearing (or whatever process they have in place to appeal the school's decision), and follow through on it.\n\nBe calm, be articulate, be prepared, and be ready to defend your record. If you do all this, it is pretty likely that you will be re-admitted, and given the opportunity to catch up on whatever was missed since the expulsion, in order to pass.\n\nPicketing the school - while giving you the opportunity to vent your outrage - will not further your cause. Rethink that "strategy".
