It MIGHT be. But I don't believe we here have enough information to say whether what happened was unjust. We do not know anything about the context, the words used, how each of these students has behaved in the past, etc.
Also, you seem to imply that the first case was MORE serious. But the details about the number of teachers and students would seem to be irrelevant. From what you say, our best guess would have to be that the cases were EQUAL and the punishment should have been the same.
But I can't say that for sure. It would be very unfair for ME to pass judgment without knowing the particulars.

Please stop with the race card. Race has nothing to do with it. Maybe the person said something worse, or maybe the one teacher was more insulted by it. Life isn't fair and that is that. I have worse stories about school being unfair than that one. I mean come on. If life was to suddenly become fair, it wouldn't happen in high school. Try being the only girl in an all guy class, along with being the only one without Hispanic blood of any kind, being pushed through the gym doors by your teacher to attend a Cinco De Miayo ( spelling may be off on that one)celebration that is only in Spanish. Or, the only only on for the war in Iraq in an art class, Where the next three days the assignment was to make war protest signs and have a protest in the parking lot. Getting three zeros in a row and having the school board back up your hippie teacher. These are a few examples. Please get over yourself.

Not fair at all. I'm a teacher, and if that ever happened at my school, BOTH students would be in a s---load of trouble. I hate double standards. It's like the thing on 20/20 last night about "white-sounding" names on resumes getting more interviews than "black-sounding" names (their words, not mine). It's such crap.

I believe the punishment should be equal, it was the same "crime".
