So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

A University of Central Florida student is suing the school after being barred from attending classes following an alleged cheating incident.

College student Taylor Seitz is accused of sneaking out a cellphone during a test. Following a formal disciplinary process, UCF placed her on discipline probation and barred her from attending classes for two semesters. Seitz claims in her lawsuit that the punishment rendered does not fit what her assistant professor and head of the department assured her would happen, namely, a failing course grade and the requirement to take a workshop on academic integrity. Seitz refers to the punishment as "egregious."

According to news reports, Seitz wrote a letter of apology, calling the incident "one of the biggest mistakes" of her life.
