US: High school principal suspended for giving student a 'wedgie'
A high school principal received a six-day suspension and a letter of reprimand for giving one of his students a wedgie.
Eric Messerli pulled a Park High School senior's soccer jersey over his head and yanked upward on the waistband of the boy's underwear at a soccer game October 5. Other school officials said he was joking around with the student and did it playfully.
He was suspended for two days without pay and four days with pay before the school board decided Monday to let him return. He tearfully told the board: "I've made mistakes in my life, but none have had the impact that this one has had."
Messerli, who was back on the job Tuesday, will be required to talk with students and staff members about the incident to restore respect and authority.
He said his first reaction was to resign, but he decided to "tackle this mess" head on.
"I want to live in a world where we don't have to hide when we screw up," he said.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH_HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHH!!!!
yea im sure he was "joking". I bet the kid didnt think it was very funny. I hate these stupid liberal training camps.
...And it used to be just kids who gave these...
God damn liberals, this type of roughhousing is normal between guys. But, these damn douchebag liberals were the kids who were picked on and had no friends growing up, giving them some type of 'right' to fuck normal children's lives up. Liberals need to go, they need to be put on a ship going straight into the middle of the ocean. Joking ;) but seriously I'd love it if we split the country in two, normal people and liberals, just to see how long they'd last. They'd be engulfed in poverty so fast, I mean 80% taxation, a 75% unemployment rate, and completely open boarders, it would be a laugh
