Well the question is, was your friend making drug deals or not?  I'm
assuming not.  And it's not right for principals and teachers to assume that
just beacuse a kid has a pager, that they're making deals.  If it gets out
that the principal implied your friend was a drug dealer, or whatever, and
they're not, I'd have your friends parents go in and give him a talking too.
I'd also consider a defamation lawsuit.
