What’s wrong with this picture [“Rally over suspension,” News, May 18]?
A student appeared to be disruptive, refused to leave the classroom and put down his cellphone — but the teacher was suspended? This seems to be a situation ruled by political correctness. What a shame that other students lost class time because of one student’s behavior. Teaching has become hazardous.
