The kid gets suspended and kicked off the football team for calling out the head coach and his son in a poem. Principal labels it 'hazing' and 'harassment'.

Just another example of our zero tolerance stance. We have taken people's ability to think away from them.

Isn't it more of an issue that Extracurricular activities are held higher than actual school work?

Apparently the students poem was lacking spineless, nut less, thin skinned and insecure.

So he calls out a coach for being a douche, and the coaches kid for being sub par at best, whats wrong with that?

On the flip side..... this kid may simply have an axe to grind because he cant make the cut. Either way the poem was angry, no doubt about that, but its a hell of a more responsible outlet for anger than restoring to fighting, or other types of violence so often used to get a disgruntled students point across these days.
