6-7-the question is really written improperly altogether as it assumes that it is a cruel and unusual punishment now once that is assumed there is no longer a question up for debate as the constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment’s. A proper question would be is this considered a cruel and unusual punishment?
To this I would answer no as this cannot be called cruel or unusual due to it being done in 237 school’s . Now although one may argue that it is cruel and unusual because the plaintiff received 20 instead of 5 that simply speaking falls under excessive fines however one can argue that fines are strictly monetary and and a usual punishment that is done in large increments is a cruel and unusual punishment.
