Is it fair that the student they victimized would have to face them daily as part of the Latin family?

It also seems that sending emails from other's accounts has happened repeatedly before this incident. In hindsight, the administration probably wishes they would have sdhut this practice down sooner. However, at that time they would have been lambasted for overreacting.[/quote]

To put it in perspective, in so many schools students have been in fistfights and not been expelled. Repeated bullies in schools are often not expelled, but given a plan to follow. The expectation that if there is a negative encounter in school you should never have to face the person again is very odd and actually not the norm - especially in a school that operates like a family. Most schools have conflict resolution, apologies, and fixing/making up the action. Is there a sense that these two posed a prior or an ongoing danger to the child whose email account they used?

And yes, the fact that group email jokes were happening prior should be taken into consideration. [/quote]

Would you feel the same way if it was your daughter and she was sexually assaulted?  What they did was a crime and whether it was their intent or not their was the appearance of a hate crime. There is no way I would want my child to remain in the school with those that victimized him. And you are right, schools regularly use "conflict resolution" but I suspect the victim is coerced into participation and often has no choice.[/quote]

Conflict resolution is the opposite of coercion.
