There just seems to be a growing trend to take the kid's side in every disagreement with adults.

I dunno...if my 12 year old son had a middle school basketball coach who felt he needed to usurp my parental authority and publicly humiliate my son because he ran out of options with my son and he felt my son needed a kick in the rear then for sure my going after his job would be the very least of his problems.
Kick in the rear. C'mon.

Out of options for what!?!? What possible good resolution to any problem could come out of making the kid into a kicking post for a roomful of peers and parents? I'm with Dan on this one. No 13 year old deserves this kind of treatment for any reason.
