For Tom Freston, it's not about the money. It's about principles

We didn't expect the next Tom Freston headline to be about him suing the City of New York. The former Viacomer is awaiting word from the U.S. Supreme Court on whether or not he will be able to get back his son's private school tuition. The case is being brought by Thomas Freston, who was ousted as the CEO of Viacom last year. A lawyer who handled the case for Mr. Freston before two lower courts, Neal Rosenberg, said a win for the city could pressure parents to send their children to public schools that cannot accommodate them. "This is an additional obstacle to parents that would mean you must first allow the Department of Education to try to educate your child," Mr. Rosenberg said. "Only after you have allowed your child to be made a guinea pig, can you seek reimbursement." Top Court Takes N.Y. Case On Tuition Reimbursement [NY Sun]
