You'd think this would be handled differently considering the kid may never have another opportunity to speak with his mom. Not to mention the comforting affect it probably has for them.

A high school junior has been suspended for the rest of the school year for refusing to end a cell phone call to his mother who is a soldier in Iraq.
Kevin Francois, a 17-year-old at Spencer High School, was suspended for disorderly conduct Wednesday after a confrontation that began when he was told to give up his cell phone at lunch during the call, he said.
His mother, Sgt. 1st Class Monique Bates, left in January for a one-year tour and serves with the 203rd Forward Support Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division.
