No, I'm not joking at all. Authority is given by the people and can be revoked at any time when those in authority begin to misuse it. And these school administrators obviously are a bit too high on their "authority".

So tell us, what should the boy have done? "Sorry mom, can't talk to you even though every call could be the last, my masters have rules."?

When told to get off the phone, this kid should have calmly explained to the teacher who he was talking to and what exactly was going on. Rather, he snorted, "I'm not about to hang up on my mom." How was the teacher supposed to know if he was really talking to his mother and what her situation was? This kid obviously has a bad attitude and if he'd handled the situation properly, there would be no issue at all. In any event, the student should have obeyed the teacher's request and explained himself later. If he had done that, the principal would most likely been on his side in a dispute with this particular teacher. Even though you're not joking about comparing the school administration to the Third Reich, it is still very funny how easily you can bring these wild comparisons into the debate. FR never ceases to entertain.
