​Forgive Cindy Schwalb for being a little pissed. Last May, a boy pulled down her 13-year-old daughter's sweatpants in front of other students at school. She didn't believe administrators at the Hasbrouck Heights School District in New Jersey were taking it seriously...

So she showed up at a back-to-school meeting this fall looking for action. That's where she decided to lambast the principal for his inaction -- with a liberal dose of profanity. If any of you have encountered the Captain Rulebooks they're hiring as administrators these days, you likely know her frustration.

But in the lexicon of school officials, cussing the principal before a packed auditorium is totally inappropriate. So the district filed disorderly conduct charges against her.

Under the steadfast rules of a stand-up America, the incident should have prompted a sit-down where everyone cleared the air. But the district isn't back down. It wants to teach parents that they can't cuss the principal. So Schwalb is now headed to court, where a dozen people showed up wearing red shirts to support the mom.

She's pleaded not guilty, and faces 90 days in the slam if convicted.
