| Student Who Mooned Teacher Sues |
| 2007-04-05 |
| CLEARWATER, Fla. - A high school senior acknowledges he went too far when he mooned a teacher. But he thinks the decision of school officials to send him to a new school for the rest of the year was too harsh, so his family is suing. Boo-hoo... Tyler Tillung, 18, mooned a teacher "suddenly and without thinking about the consequences" in February, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday. The teacher had declined to let him into a Feb. 21 school lip sync show that was full. He was suspended for six days and reassigned to a new school. "Consequences? But... but... but that's not FAIR!!" But the teen wants to graduate with his Palm Harbor University High class in six weeks and complete his final season on the varsity baseball team, the lawsuit said. "We're talking about his graduation," said Tillung's lawyer, B. Edwin Johnson. "That's an important event in a guy's life. ... This kid deserves a break." Cry me a river. School Board Attorney Jim Robinson said administrators stand by their decision. "Without knowing the allegations, we're confident in the administration's position on this case," Robinson said. Palm Harbor principal Herman "Doc" Allen described the mooning as "disgusting" and the teacher as "traumatized." I have zero sympathy for the student. But I don't have much sympathy for a teacher who whines about being "traumatized" by the sight of a stupid teenager's bare ass, either. That's what slingshots are for; keep one handy at all times to be prepared for targets of opportunity. |

| #6 Somehow I do not equate a guy named 'Tyler' with being a typical baseball kind of guy. maybe waterboy, but ( no pun intended) Tyler is a name for the student librarian, not the shortstop....... |

| #3 The only thing traumatized by this should be the moron's behind, after the effects of the business end of a large paddle. But that would damage his self esteem, not be a deterrent etc etc |

| #1 Traumatized?! Have you ever seen the zits on a teenage boys ass? That'd be enough to put you off lunch. |
