Students in Winston Churchill High School in Montgomery County were caught changing their grades. That is a misdemeanor there, so the police got involved. Usually cheating is handled by the school, but this time it was handled more harshly by the law.
The author of this editorial thought that the police involvement was justified, and cheating should always be handled more strictly. I think that if you don't do something, you should not get the credit or the consequences for it. If the consequences for cheating in High School become very severe, and you are framed, then you will have your school career ruined for something you didn't do. The kids in High School are put through a lot and change a lot. Having life-long consequences for cheating in High School does not make sense to me.
