It is no such thing...it's an example of "facts" can be used to twist 
the truth.  There is now way of knowing what this two-year suspension 
will do to this teachers future...and there is no way of knowing what 
this kid's juvenile record will do to his/her future either.  It's all 
guess work.

Really?  Is that statement generally true or just true in the case you 
cited?
