In reply to the discussion: 11-year-old sent to principal's office for telling fellow students to stop making Nazi salute [View all]SunSeeker
(51,550 posts)8. The headline is correct. Merely being sent to the principal's office amounts to discipline.
She was ostracized, whether Mrs. A intended to or not, by being sent to the principle's office. Just because no additional punishment occurred in the principal's office does not obviate the fact that being sent there was its own punishment. Mrs. A should have sent the saluting students to the principal's office, instead of the girl. How Mrs. A and the principal handled the situation was stupid and sickening.

OP
"Mrs. A," the teacher who sent her to the principal, and the principal, both need to be fired.

The only "situation" they were trying to calm down was the girl's objections to the salutes.

An opportunity for the school to dig in to why it's wrong. The entire lead up to genocide.
