A 9-year-old Michigan boy was recently suspended after doing a signature Michael Jackson move during a performance at his school's annual lip-synching fundraiser.

The boy was giving a pretty accurate performance of Jackson’s Billie Jean when he threw in the singer's famous "crotch grab."

That did not go over well with the principal at his Catholic school.  

The principal says they boy’s behavior amounted to "gross-misconduct." Read more.

How do you feel about this? Is the principal over-reacting? Or do you think a Michael Jackson inspired “crotch grab” at a school function is inappropriate?
