The number of morons on QL never ceases to amaze me.

IF THE STORY IS TRUE--the response of some here is to fire every person at the school, close it down, flog the teacher and administrator, deport them, lay an obscene fine on the school, etc. Sounds an awful lot like the unconsidered stupidity transpiring in Egypt and Libya.

How about this: find out if it is true and the WHOLE circumstances. See that it is corrected by politely educating the school officials that the student was acting within her rights, and then move on. Such restraint is mark of confidence and civility. Punishing these people so severely would only bring shame to Qatar and its predominate religion. After all true power is the ability to deal out severe retribution but then acting with restraint. But then there is always the savage option of forming a mob, attacking the school and hurting some innocent people.
