School Punishments Too Harsh

A 10th grader, Messiah was attending a science class at the school of art in New York School when he decided to draw on his desk. He was suspended for doing so, and then later in the week was called down to the principles office and got arrested. The principle later decided to drop the charges but still had Messiah go to family court and complete community service. With more police officers in school buildings it is more likely for students t get arrested.

I think it was very unnecessary for Messsiah to get arrested and even suspended. Yes writing on desks is wrong but to get in that much trouble for doing something that little is wrong. I mean I can see him getting in trouble for writing like a hit list or something, but it obviously wasn't anything too serious or more information would be put out about that. There is more school issues that should be attended, rather than getting someone arrested and suspended for writing on a desk.

I think Barak is doing us a great favor. We need to lower our gas prices and finally he's actually trying to do something about it. I agree that he is doing the right thing by exploring the production of more energy efficient vehicles. This will not just help our economy but our atmosphere as well.
