We need more information. This part makes me think he was suspended for not doing his web-based work. Since the teacher didn't see IE he thought the assignment wasn't being performed. There are a lot of people out there who still think IE=WWW, and unfortunately some of them are teaching our kids.

Still, the student should have closed the browser and then gone to the administration to tell them the teacher is a moron.

Waste of time. The administration of the average public school consists of morons, and on the off chance they weren't the teacher's union would prevent them from taking any action.
