Arresting...over a minor incident, no matter what ?..Now there is a story, but it is up to the school board to decide if the principal was correct "with the arrest." So many ways to deal with this...other than "arrest."

Well.............stupid is, what stupid is................and the principal is ......stupid, actually stupider than the substitute teacher...much stupider
