I agree with you, certainly not with Eggman. To threaten a 12 year old kid with suspension for several days as well as possible transfer to another school -- all for sticking out his tongue, whether it was "appropriate" behavior or not -- is nothing short of idiotic.
Kids did a LOT worse to each other in my day and nothing whatsoever happened, and nothing NEEDED to happen. Everyone is such a whining crybaby these days -- years ago you just sucked it up and dealt with whatever came your way.
It was called GROWING UP!

My only caveat is that none of us was there, and don't know the context. The schools will not reveal all the details because they are prohibitted from doing so.
As easy as it is to jump to the conclusion that "bad stuff" was going on here, there may be more to the story.
