Should the principal be fired or reassigned?

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has a sad article. The lead line is:

"The Elizabeth Forward principal who humiliated a third-grader falsely accused of stealing money from a schoolmate has been suspended for three days, officials said Thursday."

The school principal way over reacted. He harshly disciplined the wrong student. The superintendent basically said go use some of your vacation. Member of the school board said the principal wasn't disciplined harshly enough.

I agree with the schoolboard. It doesn't sound like this principal should be a principal any longer.
