"A school is supposed to educate kids. They [teachers and school officials] are supposed to give them information and they're never supposed to lie to them. And they were failing in all of these duties. They were lying to kids. They were giving them information that wasn't correct and denying them information that could save their lives." —Shelby Knox, 20
