WESTLAND, Mich. – John Glenn High School student Hazel Juco was disgusted by the discolored water pouring out of a school bathroom faucet recently, so she snapped a picture and posted about it online.

“I always hope that someone will see it and want to help us,” she told WXYZ. “Because our school obviously doesn’t have the money.”

Juco said that shortly after posting the picture to Facebook and Twitter, she was summoned to the school office where she was suspended for a trumped up charge.

“I just took a picture of it. And then in my newspaper class I talked about it with them,” Juco said. “They told me I was being suspended, OSS (Out of School Suspension). It is inappropriate use of electronics in the restroom.”

Juco said it’s obvious school officials imposed a double standard because she flagged the tainted water problem.

“Everyone in my school, every girl takes, like, selfies in the bathroom and makes it their profile picture on Twitter or Facebook or whatever,” Juco told KFOR. “No one has gotten in trouble.”

The situation also prompted her classmates to protest the punishment by posting their bathroom selfies on social media, a campaign that caught the attention of WXYZ, which questioned Wayne-Westland Community Schools Superintendent Michele Harmala about it.

Harmala told the news site John Glenn administrators never reported the plumbing issue to maintenance, and agreed that Juco’s punishment for highlighting the problem was unjust.

“The punishment is inappropriate. I am going to make sure the out of school suspension is expunged from the student’s record,” Harmala said.

The superintendent said the policy against pictures in school restrooms is designed to protect student privacy, not to shield the public from needed maintenance.

Harmala also contacted district maintenance officials, she said.

“They sent a plumber out right away,” she said. “A piece of the pipe that leads to the faucet was corroding and needs to be replaced and that’s underway right now.”

Harmala told WXYZ that the district’s website has a cell phone app that allows students to take pictures and report maintenance problems.

Juco said she’s relieved to know the bogus punishment won’t be on her permanent record.

“That means a lot to me,” Juco said.

Numerous folks who commented about the situation online commended both the student and superintendent for doing the right thing.

“Glad that the superintendent did the right thing,” Rod Schnaar wrote. “She could have kept the suspension in the girl’s file, since she technically violated the rules. Kudos to the student and the lead administrator in the district.”

“Truth has become a crime in this country,” Laurie Tomasino wrote. “What was their intended message to this child who only thought she was doing the right thing? She is owed a public apology and commended for her vigilance.”
