The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear a lawsuit brought by a student at East Hamption High School suspended after he allegedly made a comment “one down, forty thousand to go” in reaction to the death of a Latino student in an motorcycle accident.

The student accused of the remark wanted to return to school to declare his innocence in a letter read in a student assembly. After an investigation, the school determined that the student made the remark and suspended him for the rest of the school year. -db
