Student sues school to let him back after Mooning Prof

CLEARWATER, Fla. - A high school senior acknowledges he went too far when he mooned a teacher. But he thinks the decision of school officials to send him to a new school for the rest of the year was too harsh, so his family is suing.

Tyler Tillung, 18, mooned a teacher "suddenly and without thinking about the consequences" in February, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday. The teacher had declined to let him into a Feb. 21 school lip sync show that was full. He was suspended for six days and reassigned to a new school.

But the teen wants to graduate with his Palm Harbor University High class in six weeks and complete his final season on the varsity baseball team, the lawsuit said.

"We're talking about his graduation," said Tillung's lawyer, B. Edwin Johnson. "That's an important event in a guy's life. ... This kid deserves a break."

School Board Attorney Jim Robinson said administrators stand by their decision.

"Without knowing the allegations, we're confident in the administration's position on this case," Robinson said. Palm Harbor principal Herman "Doc" Allen described the mooning as "disgusting" and the teacher as "traumatized."

"Without knowing the allegations, we're confident in the administration's position on this case," Robinson said. Palm Harbor principal Herman "Doc" Allen described the mooning as "disgusting" and the teacher as "traumatized."

He showed the teacher his butt. Big deal! Everyone has a butt. Just seeing someone else's butt shouldn't be traumatic. If it was, this teacher has far more serious issues than this mooning.

Come on. Get over it already.

As opposed to a couple of you, I hope the kid wins. He served the suspension, which is the consequence for his actions. Let him play baseball and graduate. After all, it's only 6 more weeks.

I agree, they suspended him for 6 days. Switching schools seems very excessive. I can see not allowing him to finish the baseball season, but let the guy graduate with his classmates
