The Buck Stops Here

After outrage across Kerala, the management of a leading Thiruvanthapuram school decides to re-look at a case where they had suspended a 16-year-old because he had hugged a girl he was close to in school. The school wants a meeting with the boy. They had also said that personal pictures of him with this girl student on his private Instagram account were unacceptable because they had been shared across the school. On The Buck Stops Here, we speak to the school principal and the suspended teenager. Will he finally get the chance to take the board examination because that is what was being denied to him because of this bizarre suspension?

Are schools the ultimate arbiter of the moral values our children should have? Don't social mores change?
