It's like deciding which is the better outcome. "standing up for him" by making a lot of sound and fury at the school board and putting your kid under a microscope for the rest of his time in school there, making this one penalty your "hill to die on," without any actual ability to affect any change at all (the kid still gets punished) or being able to have the grace to accept the many things in life you cannot change and focusing your efforts on the mental and social health of the kid instead.
I know meekness is out of fashion in America these days, but at the end of the day, you can't blow up the world over every single thing that happens. Justice as such is a severely overrated concept and is too often used as a synonym for revenge.
Those looking to "settle the score" against Goodell aren't looking for justice, they're looking for vengeance and calling it justice. I'm not prepared to play that game because at the end of the day, both parties often lose, and we have way too much to lose right now.
Wow. This is not how things work in life. In business or in society. You cannot really believe this stuff.
Standing up for him is the only answer. That doesn't mean you punch the principle in the mouth. But you do not accept the punishment and use every reasonable recourse possible to fight back. IF you lose at the very minimum your kid and your extended family know you fought for him. And no matter what and no matter how tempting do not hug the principle in public while praising his great job.
