S.C.S. § 455(a), a federal judge must recuse himself "in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned. The Court must consider whether, "a reasonable person, knowing all the facts, [would] conclude that the trial judge's impartiality could reasonably be questioned." United States v. Lovaglia, 954 F.2d 811, 815 (2d Cir.1992). Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3), when the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the court shall dismiss the action. To show a lack of subject matter jurisdiction, a claim must be "so insubstantial, implausible, or otherwise completely devoid of merit as not to involve a federal controversy." IUE AFL-CIO Pension Fund v. Herrmann, 9 F.3d 1049, 1056 (2d Cir. 1993). The court held that "Parents' right to educational choice for their children is triggered by substantial denials of educational choice…not by state health and welfare concerns over who is responsible for checking children for contagious diseases." Kampfer v. Gokey, 955 F. Supp. 167, 171 (N.D.N.Y. 1997).
Analysis:...
The school's refusal to have its doctor check the student for nits did not rise to the level of a denial of a fundamental constitutional right, which meant that the plaintiffs failed to state a justiciable federal claim.
Conclusion: The Court denied the plaintiff's motion for recusal. The Court granted the defendant's motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Because the Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction, the Court did not consider whether the plaintiffs had standing to bring this case or the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment.

555). In their interpretation of United States v. Fordice, the Department of Education refers to the "sound educational practices" clause in Fordice by mentioning the "distinctive histories and traditions" represented by historically black institutions (Moore 2000, p. 556). Such histories, traditions, and techniques of cultural preservation are inherently valuable and educationally sound. Historically black institutions are constitutional also in the sense that they actively encourage choice among African-American applicants

Education Law Policy and Social Justice Mother Tongue Instruction The population of students receiving their instruction in another language apart from their mother tongue is increasing as a consequence of the increased migration. Indeed, as Bingol (2012) points out, “migration and language are clearly linked issues…. because the language of instruction in the schools is different from the language spoken at home, some arrangements must be done for these children in
The parents, O'Connor wrote today, "in effect ask this Court to assume that every IEP is invalid until the school district demonstrates that it is not. The Act does not support this conclusion....
