No, ucbalumnus, that isn’t the student’s complaint. His complaint is that faculty members(school officials) are creating it by continuing on about it AFTER he has been punished. In the quote posted, there is no indication the student doesn’t understand it was an insult. There is no indication he disagrees with the punishment by the administration. ok to agree or disagree with his opinion, but careful readers want to be sure to understand it before we decide which side of the fence we’re on. And readers need to know there is a difference between one insult and a hostile environment.
