Fresno, Calif.: Brandy Hurd, “a straight-A eighth-grader and a top athlete in her class, is suing a teacher and the Island Union Elementary School District in Lemoore for what a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Fresno says was an unfair C in physical education last year. … In addition to asking a judge to order the grade changed, the lawsuit also is seeking unspecified financial damages.” The girl’s father, Ivan Hurd, “is not new to the federal court system in Fresno,” having last year obtained a settlement estimated at $700,000 in a seven-year-old dispute over false arrest and other claims.
