A Georgia high school senior who was suspended in December for hugging a teacher will be allowed back in school — but only to take online courses, according to HLN affiliate WGCL. “It’s a step forward that they gave him an alternative for him to finish his education online,” the teen’s mother, April McNair, told WGCL. “But you’re still stripping him of graduating with his class… going to prom, having the experience of a high school graduate.” Sam McNair told HLN in December that he had hugged the teacher numerous times before and that, “She was totally fine with it. That’s why I was so surprised when this situation happened.”
