A high school principal in Montana was given a six-day suspension for giving a student a wedgie — pulling up on the waistband of the student's underwear. Pop Quiz asked area high school students if the punishment was fair.
"I think a wedgie was too extreme. Maybe a harmless punch to the shoulder would have been better. I think the punishment was somewhat fair."
— Adrian Mendoza, 18

"I think that maybe the principal's actions were a little bit to the extreme, and the consequences to it were just. I think that if he did get fired, it wouldn't have been a fair punishment."
