>they deserve whatever consequences they are likely to receive

They deserve a reasonable punishment, which is almost none.

See? We're making a nation of litigious nancies:

Student Claims Teacher Forced Her To Watch 'Brokeback'

A 12-year-old girl and her grandparents are suing the Chicago Board of Education, claiming that she was required to watch the R-rated film Brokeback Mountain in class last year. They claim that the film, which depicts the longterm homosexual affair of two cowboys, traumatized her and that she subsequently had to undergo psychological treatment. The girl, Jessica Turner, and her grandparents, Kenneth and LaVerne Richardson, are seeking $500,000 in damages. In an interview with the Associated Press, Kenneth Richardson, Jessica's grandfather and legal guardian, also said that the movie was "against our faith."
