I agree, to an extent. This is what you get when zero tolerance policies are applied based upon someone's name, how they look, and/or their religion. We will probably never know how this would have turned out if he had done this and was a white Christian names Johnathan McHenry or something, but I doubt it would have been the same reaction.

Plenty of options.
I'm not really sure what this has to do with anything I said, but whatever. He is transferring out of that school, and I don't blame him. But the kind of damage this sort of an event can cause has already been done. We just have to hope that there is more positive that comes from this than the negative.
