Reader Email - My Brother Got Detention For Calling His Teacher A Communist When She Wouldn't Let Him Watch USA Hockey

Reader Email

Hey Pres.,

My little brother goes to Walpole High School and on Thursday asked to watch the USA vs. Slovakia game during Spanish class. When his teacher said no he called her a communist. She gave him a detention for it. Attached is a picture of the detention slip she gave him. VIVA.

This detention slip is laugh out loud funny.   In hindsight calling her a communist the 3rd time is probably what did him in.   Like as a rule of thumb you can get away with calling somebody a communist twice, but the 3rd one is a deal breaker.  Now should this Spanish teach have let it slide?  Yeah probably.  I mean it is the Olympics, but I blame this on your brother.  The game started at 7:30am.   Why not just go into school late?  And if your parents wouldn’t let him then they are the communists.
