Too bad you didn't bother to read what I said before making your snotty remark. I didn't support what the administration did, I merely pointed out that as a legal matter the kid does not appear to have suffered any harm, inasmuch as his letter was published and he received no punishment as a result, and so the lawsuit does not appear to be supportable.

The kid did the smart thing by making this a legal matter now. He put the school on notice not to try any funny business. It would be much harder to prove after the fact, if he had written another letter and found his grades were suddenly lower, that there was a direct correlation between the two.
