WTF??!! Texas School Suspends Student for Answering Call in Class From Dad in Iraq

[Skipper the cigar aFISHinodo]

Get a grip.

He answered his cell phone in class. It's against the rules. The rules are in place for a reason.

Wrapping it in the flag is NOT helpful, or even relevant.

Break the rules, face the consequences. Don't like the consequences, don't break the damn rules. His dad can't call him after school?

Let's just put the kids in charge . . . and send the message they can do whatever the fuck they want as long as they've got a reason.

Sheeeeeeesh.

would it be ok to answer your cell phone if you got a call that your kid sister was in an accident and in the hospital?

This was a shitty thing to do. It wasn't his friend calling to ask him if the pot could be harvested yet. Something like this goes on his record? For talking to his dad that he hasn't seen in quite a while and may never see again? Tomorrow this kid's dad could be killed by an IUD or suicide bomber. Maybe his cell phone was on because his dad IS in Iraq.

Bullshit. that is effed up.
