This story was from the Globe and Mail of Canada:
A 15-year-old black belt [in taekwondo] who was suspended for breaking the nose of a classmate who racially abused him will return to school today after a sudden change of heart at the York Region board.
The reversal represents a dramatic victory for the Asian student, who was suspended a maximum 20 days last week. He had received a letter from the school board - later retracted - that said his principal recommended he be expelled from all schools in the region.
The 15-year-old will return to Keswick High School this morning with the suspension removed from his academic record and his upcoming expulsion hearing cancelled, the boy's father said yesterday. He still has to defend himself against a charge of "assault causing bodily harm."
