Breaking News: Kid Breaks Rule. Gets in Trouble.
As stated in a recent Fox News story, a high school student was suspended from his school after answering a phone call from his father in Iraq during class.
Cove High School in Texas, where half the students have at least one parent deployed, justified the punishment against Brandon Hill by saying he had violated the no-cell-phone policy when he took the call from his father, who is serving in Iraq.
That makes sense. He broke a rule and was punished for it, what seems to be the problem?
“When my wife told me, I was pretty disturbed by it,” he said in a phone call from Iraq.
“I was pretty shocked, considering that several months before we left I had talked to the … assistant principal and thought everything was fine,”
What?! Shocked that your sons schooling system knows a thing or two about justice and following the rules? Rules are rules… don’t whine when you get in trouble for breaking them.
And don’t cry about your father fighting in Iraq and how he should be aloud to call you during class because of what he is doing for our country… No one gets into the extreme discipline required for the army to be able to break rules. Shame on you Fox news for acting as if this story is worthy of the small bandwidth necessary to host it!

I am with you, though this is a bit extreme. The father should have known he was in school, but hey — when you are on the other part of the world, you tend not to care.
