Potioncat:
I would protest the grade if I were you. Beyond the teacher, perhaps. 
Or maybe not. You know your school system better than I do, and there 
is a point when it's better to keep your head down. There are other 
times when it pays off to protest. How badly did this hurt his over all 
grade?

If you son went in and presented it as a double entendre---then I could 
understand some consequences. But if he was given a 50 out of 100, a 
failing grade because of the name....well, I hope he doesn't have to 
give a report about our vice president!
