I said this before the details of the video were known:

Now that the details are pretty much known I am of the opinion that it wasn't really appropriate. Is it the most inappropriate thing ever done on school grounds? Not at all. Should heads roll? Not at all.

Was it inappropriate? Yes. Should it not be done again? Yes.

Can you find hypocrisy in people being upset now that weren't when roughly correlating things happened in the past to people of the opposite party? Yes. Can you find hypocrisy in people not being upset now that were (or would have been had they known of it) when roughly correlating things happened in the past to people of the opposite? Does that type of hypocrisy pretty much define political discourse for most people? I'd say the long history of this thread says yes. Everybody thinks their farts smell like flowers, as I say frequently.
