Let Sam McNair back in school
Sam a Duluth High School senior has been suspended for one year and won't graduate on time for hugging a teacher last month.
Why is this important?
In my opinion the punishment does not fit the offense, suspended for a whole year and cause him to possibly miss his graduation? Come on now, should he be punished? I do not know, could there have been other steps taken to maybe remove Sam from this class? Absoutely, with the drop out rate of kids these days, not to mention other barriers to success many of our children face, for Sam to make it to 12th grade, then tell him get out? Unacceptable, I am sorry, but this is just not acceptable and will damage Sam way more than the teacher. Plain and simple the punishment does not fit the offense. Thank you in advance Governor, please help Sam get back to the books, please help him to keep his scholorships
