Principal suspends teen for Instagramming he mug shot

She had been arrested for missing a court appearance that merely concerned a speeding ticket. So she called him into her office.

Did she berate him for finding her picture? Did she plead that she was just a good person who made a mistake?

Let Varner take up his story: "And she was like, 'You said I got arrested for DUI.' And I was like, 'I think you got arrested for DUI'."

Miller was undeterred. She knew the law. So she reportedly asked a policeman to arrest Varner.

You might be wondering what she asked the policeman to arrest him for. I am wondering the same thing.

The policeman might have wondered the same thing too, as he reportedly refused to arrest Varner.

What was Miller Brown to do? Why, suspend the miserable miscreant.

You're still here, aren't you? What could she have suspended him for? Well, school administrators declared that Varner has been suspended for disseminating the picture to many people and for behaving in a belligerent manner when on the principal's carpet.

Here's a twist: Varner's mom, Nakesha Thomas, told WSB-TV that Miller Brown had sent her a letter stating that he had been suspended for "spreading misinformation."

Are you reaching exhaustion yet? Well, there is nothing in the school's rules that prevent students from spreading misinformation. This is the Internet age. You're supposed to spread misinformation.

Certainly, I'm no fan of public educators and this principal over-reacted. Having said this, if she was arrested for missing a court date over a mere speeding ticket and this kid was spreading her mugshot around saying she was busted for a DUI, her over-reaction was at least understandable given the stigmatization DUI offenders now face in terms of social opprobrium, employment, insurance rates, etc.

School administration is the last bastion for petty tyrants.

Too many Napoleon complexes...

Tattoo an "L" on his forehead.

What a miserable corner of our blasted civilization this is. Isn't the human condition bad enough? Do we have to pretend the principal and the student are even remotely literate?

Is it me or is the thread title hacked up and the text hard to read?

Other than “he” should be “her”, the title is the same as the link’s.

This is interesting. Nazi teacher alert!
“Indeed, other parents told WSB-TV that their children had been threatened with suspension by Miller Brown for having her mugshot on their phones.”

Oh the irony!

My kid’s school created an imaginary student out of whole cloth and used her to “friend” everyone and spy on them.

He figured out she didn’t actually exist and proceeded to cyber-bully her.

They hauled his sorry butt onto the carpet and threatened him with all kinds of administrative and legal penalties.

He sat patiently through the bluster, screaming and intimidation.

Then he blandly asked them how exactly could one cyber-bully an imaginary friend?

Uh, errrr, um... what do you mean?

You guys created her to “supervise” students, she doesn’t exist.

They pretty much instantly decided they didn’t need to talk to him anymore and sent him on his way...

That’s m’boy!

Roger that. I had figured most Freepers start drinking hours before I do, as we observe Alaska Standard Time here, so I just knew it'd make sense as the evening wore on.

Went back to the link and read the article after you gave me heads up of Nazi teacher alert. Good on the student!

Who the hell wrote this garbage? I can’t understand one word of it.

Maybe she was unhappy because she thought he was trying to do the school's job.

School administration is the last bastion for petty tyrants.

They are also this country’s highest-paid “migrant workers.”.
