It's funny, our system is lenient enough to give teens who commit horrible crimes such as burglary, sexual assault, and even homicide a 2nd chance. Even if she knew exactly what she was doing, even if she risked putting other people in danger, why doesn't she deserve forgiveness? This should not be a felony issue, this should not be a national news story. At worst it's a student who needs a good talking to. But excluding a student from civilized society, which is basically what is being done here, is a grossly extreme response.
