Oh yeah, there is more to this story.

A student, while not bothering anyone or anything, decided NOT to give in to power-tripping "authority figures" and their senseless dictates.

Good for him.

I don't know how you worked things in your family, but my kids were told to be respectful of school authorities no matter how much they (or we) may have disagreed with them. It's part of the disciplinary process that leads to good citizenship and the ability to function successfully in the world. Kids who aren't imbued with the quality of respect generally turn into foul-mouthed, pie-throwing leftists.

Yeah, I hadn't seen the other thread on this when I responded. Now that I have read it, it's clear the school overreacted. The people getting suspended should be the school administrators.
