I don't understand. Who is the special interest?
People in authority sometimes make really shitty decisions when it comes to punishment. Luckily if you're a white dude there are very rarely real consequences to this.
But surely even if the punishment didn't fit the crime (and I agree that it didn't), there is a very real lesson to learn about thinking about what you're about to say and who could be listening and what their perspective could be. Better to learn that in high school than at a job, where, no matter how any of us were raised 30-40 years ago, it 100% is sexual harassment in the workplace to do something like this.
