[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the parent of 4 teens--1 in college, 2 in HS, 1 in MS--and a psychologist specializing in adolescents who works a lot with "at risk" youth. My husband is a developmental pediatrician. We discussed this story and both of us agreed whole-heartedly that if any of our children, or our patients, pulled this kind of stunt we would be FURIOUS about the expulsion--at the child, for getting themselves expelled. 17 is old enough to know that using a Muslim student's email to send in a bomb thread--a federal offense!--is completely unacceptable on so many levels. It's not like these kids are being executed. Their lives are not over. 
Frankly a lot of the reaction here reminds me of cases in which boys assault girls and then people get up in arms about how the boys lives have been ruined. Well, action have consequences, and perhaps you should have thought of that--yes, at 17, yes, even with a not fully developed brain--before you behaved abhorrently towards another human being.[/quote]
