[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That punishment seems excessive. No wonder our children are so afraid of failure - one slip and the course of your life is literally changed forever. Suspension, community service, public apologies, there were lots of other ways to handle this.[/quote]'

For calling in a bomb threat and blaming a Muslim student? Jesus. How about if the authorities hadn't determined it was a hoax, shut down the school and dragged that poor kid into an interrogation room for hours? [/quote]

Yes, honestly. Teenagers are physiologically unable to visualize consequences the way adults do. I think they could have gotten a very, very strict punishment without expulsion. I firmly believe in second chances for children.[/quote]

+1000 and I'm a Latin parent.  They did a very stupid thing - like any kid might do.  Maybe not that in particular, but kids (and plenty of adults) do stupid things. They didn't target a Muslim kid.  Just so happened a Muslim kid didn't sign out of his email.  The school figured it out quickly and the kids admitted doing it.  It's a very sad situation all around.[/quote]
