Why Josh Can't Be Left Alone

According to this article, some kid caught his Principle smoking on school grounds. Oh yeah, and it's illegal to smoke within 25 feet of a school building wherever they are. So this smart kid takes an incriminating picture, tells all of his classmates about it...and subsequently finds himself on suspension.

Now, maybe the kid didn't attempt due process first, so his behavior could be construed as disrespectful, but this incident smacks of authoritarianism. Shut up your critic. The kid was right, the principal was wrong. Where do they get off punishing the student? Are they trying to silence him? Are they trying to get back at him? That's like if I were to report a cop for going through a red light, having him have all his friends follow me around and ticket me for the slightest infraction. You can't use your power to get back at somebody for catching you breaking your own rules. That principal should resign if he had any dignity, but obviously he has none, and finds himself above all rule of law. The next best thing will be for the school board to fire him, both for his original behavior, as well as his belligerent follow up.
