Expelled for Reporting School Tragedy | Nashville News
Description
A tragic school shooting in January 2025 left a student dead and another injured—shocking a community already reeling. Lilith Pipkin, a close friend of the victim and a determined freshman aiming for honor roll, ROTC, and AP classes, stepped up to report what she saw. But instead of being praised, she was suspended, then expelled—accused of writing a note tied to the shooting. Despite her father’s frantic efforts, including hiring a forensic expert who proved she didn’t write the note, the school district stood firm. Now, with no response to their appeals and student privacy laws blocking transparency, Chris Pipkin vows to be the squeakiest wheel possible, fighting to clear his daughter’s record so she can chase her dream of joining the military—something her current school won’t support.
