Vancouver school's email system hacked by student [columbian.com].

A Skyview high school student has been expelled after hacking into the accounts of three teachers then using them to send a quarter-million emails, many of which had the subject "Make America Great Again". The load on the system was such that email was very slow for all users of the system.

While discipline is appropriate for such a sophomoric stunt, I feel it is inappropriate to expel the student. More appropriate in my opinion would be community service.
