On Monday Slashdot reported that a Pennsylvania high school student had received two hours of detention for using the powerful Firefox web browser to do his classwork while in school.

Turns out, the scanned letter was altered (Photoshop anyone?) and a response from the school principal implies that the student received detention for engaging in "non-academic activities."
