A Florida high school senior who mooned a teacher is suing after he was reassigned to a new school following the incident. He also was suspended for six days. The student and his family say the decision by school officials was too harsh and want him reinstated at his old high school. Do you think the punishment was appropriate or too harsh?
"He should have been suspended. I think moving him to a different school was a little extreme. It was wrong, but he only really offended the teacher, not the whole faculty. By sending him to another school, he has to start over with friends."

"They kind of did overreact. It was all right for him to get suspended, but mooning somebody isn't really dangerous."
