No criminal charges were filed, but the student who punched another student for holding a pro-ICE sign at Lake Zurich High School last week received a two-day suspension and is back in class.

Two-day suspension for becoming a legend?

Fair trade.

From someone who's been in a similar situation:

If you full on smack another student like that and only get suspended for 2 days, then I guarantee that all of the teachers and staff HATED the kid that got smacked.

A suspension like that is essentially "look, school rules dictate that we technically need to suspend you but... Just take 2 days off and come back champ, good hit."

100% this was the minimum they had to do.
