Why is it the responsibility of this newspaper to publish disciplinary action by a Sacajawea Middle School teacher and the problems it has led to? Racism is not the issue here.

The issue based on the article is that a brat got out of control in the classroom and the teacher did what she considered appropriate steps to resolve it.

I am sick and tired of everything charging racism.

The young man ought to be spanked, either by his parents or the teacher. Has this state and school district forgotten what respect is for authority?
