Student suspended over call from mom in Iraq
 

COLUMBUS, Georgia (AP) -- A high school student was suspended for 10 days for refusing to end a cell phone call with his mother, a soldier serving in Iraq, school officials said.

The 10-day suspension was issued because Kevin Francois was "defiant and disorderly" and was imposed in lieu of an arrest, Spencer High School assistant principal Alfred Parham said.

The confrontation Wednesday began after the 17-year-old junior got a call at lunchtime from his mother, Sgt. 1st Class Monique Bates, who left in January for a one-year tour with the 203rd Forward Support Battalion.

Cell phones are allowed on campus but may not be used during school hours. When a teacher told him to hang up, he refused. He said he told the teacher, "This is my mom in Iraq. I'm not about to hang up on my mom."

fucking people .. argh.

Good call though Smokey, that guy's gonna get some shit heaped upon him.

The kid shouldn't have had the cell phone in the first place.

Imagine

Parham said. "When a kid becomes out of control like that they can either be arrested or suspended for 10 days. Now being that his mother is in Iraq, we're not trying to cause her any undue hardship; he was suspended for 10 days."

how can someone be so wretch

a cell phone call with Iraq... damn, I'd hate to see the charges for that.

Arrest? Why don't Americans seem to notice that their country is becoming a police state? Bill O'Reilly last night was telling people it was ok for cops to taser people who yell at them. He had a nice black panther as a visual aid to scare rednecks and old peolpe into agreeing with him. :helpme

I would have told the teacher to fuck off.

Its what happends when you're coddled by the liberal NEA and protected by tenure.

If my mother/father was putting her/his life on the line to keep everyone else safe and happy , you can bet i would be carrying a phone with me at all times.

Besides the article says kids are allowed to have phones at the school , they just arent allowed to use them during class. ( he was at lunch )

Who the fuck cares what the rules are anyways, the kid told him why he was talking to her, i think people can make exceptions.

ahhh, the idiot foriegner with his typical hate speech.

dear fool, the schools are run by liberal trash like yourself. you won't gain traction on this one with your dopey liberal anti America bullshit.

What kind of dumb ass starts a war based on Lie's of WMD while Bankrupting an entire country.

lmfao

HAHAHAHA

This will be all over the network news tonight. They love this shit.

fucking nuts.
rules like those are stupid.

You got your ignorant stereotypes wrong, it's right wing America haters who think the country is becoming a police state.

You have to watch a lot of TV to see nothing wrong with handcuffing two five year old kids and having cops/federal agents walk around public streets with machine guns.

holy shit, that relay service is cool...

The article does not say "during class". In addition...according to the article he was not suspended for using the cell phone or for not hanging up but was suspended for...

Damn thats pretty screwed up.

I dont think tha he can be arrested. And that is majorly fucked up.

Maybe a reservist who had no intention.

Ahh...Richy boy...to the best of my knowledge...no police force in the country is issued machine guns...and niether are federal agents...though in the case of federal agents they may very well have access to machine guns...if a situation called for it. So what the fuck are you referring to when you state "cops/federal agents walk around public streets with machine guns"? I suspect you are just...once again...spreading misinformation.

Tell that bitch off!!!
 

I would have to told her off

damn - I have told alot of teachers off and never been threatened with arrest

at least he would have not received a suspension but maybe a misdeameanor and then it would have made the 6 oclock news

This is going to hit the fan and the school is going to look - really, really bad

Cant wait for the kid to go on ohpra!!!

Anyone can be arrested for disorderly conduct...particularly a 17 year old.

This is all Dubya's fault!

Arresting a kid for telling off a teacher is retarded. But then again, so is handcuffing a five year old for having a temper tantrum. These people are fucked up.

what the fuck are these schools thinking
