My son graduated high school last week. And he had a problem with the head principal since sophomore year. And he suspended my son for something he did in February in the last month of school causing him to almost miss walking for his diploma until we had to go infront of the school board and asked if he could walk. So the day after the last day of school he walked in school found him and said "I hope you rot in hell and die soon you ugly old n*gger" and then gave him the middle finger and walked away out the building. Then when i get home the principal left a message saying what happened my son didn't deny it. But here's the problem he says he wants me and him to drive to his home which is 30 miles and give him an apology or he's going to take legal action. I never answered him because my son refuses to apologize and my sons his own man he can do whatever he wants. But the principal called two more times leaving a message repeating himself. He didnt do it in a harrassing manner. So question is can he do that? And can he withhold anything to hold my son back like purposely failing him for the year? And i would like to apologize if i offended anybody i did not teach him that his father taught him that kind of hate. We have been divorced for years.

Your son might be charged with harassing the principal, and possibly threatening him. The principal might also make the case that since your son has an attitude problem, and a problem with authority, that he should not be allowed to attend the graduation ceremony, as he's likely to cause a disruption.

Monica, your son is a terrible person. Don't blame it on his father; you raised him.



There is nothing stopping the principal from taking legal action against your son. If all you have to do is sacrifice a couple of hours of your life to do as the principal requests of you, that is a very small price to pay.



Your son already has two strikes against him as far as we know. His behavior that got him suspended, and his unacceptable behavior towards a person in authority.



I strongly suggest you do whatever it takes to teach your son that what he did is NOT acceptable behavior. If you don't nip this one in the bud, then he WILL get himself into even bigger trouble later on. Do you want the only contact with son in the future to be through a prison wall?

In the United states we have freedom of speech... This isn't Soviet Russia...
