Grandma's House

Here's your outrage of the day. A student at Spencer High School was suspended from classes when he refused to surrender his cell phone in the middle of a phone call. The call came in during lunch, and he went outside to talk on the phone since calls are not allowed in the school during the day. The call was from his mother, who is stationed in Iraq. The school authorities would not make an exception in his case, even though that would have been the right thing to do.

UPDATE: Kevin will be back in school on Monday. Due to hundreds of calls and e-mails, the school has reduced his suspension to three days, even though the teacher denies the incident happened the way Kevin described.
