Student suspended over cell call from mom in Iraq

[Ghoulish Delight]

So a kid gets a call from his mom, serving in a Iraq, at school during school hours. The school's policy is that students are allowed to carry cell phones, but not allowed to use them during school hours. When a teacher told him to hang up he refused, and apparantly used profanity, and possibly more. They were considering arresting him for disorderly conduct, but suspended him for 10 days instead.

My thoughts? Shame on the mother. You don't do something that will force your child to break school rules. I don't care where you are or what you're doing, and I don't care if it was the only chance she had to call. Unless it's an emergency, that's a horrible message to send a kid in school. "You can break the rules as long as you have a good selfish reason to." She never should have called during school hours.
