This looks real;

And on the face of it, this might be a reasonable explanation for what happened, at least as a school principal caught in headlights. I say might because this guy mentions that the suspension came about because the student "fail(ed) to follow a teacher’s directive during class time." I see this as appeasement by the principal to an angry crowd-national media-and in no way alters what happened to the kid or his punishment. At least that's how I read it!

Recently, a file was uploaded to the Internet purporting to be a copy of a letter from Big Spring High School to a student regarding a two hour detention. The uploaded letter was an altered version of a detention letter sent to a student. Unfortunately, privacy concerns prevent the School District from giving a full explanation of the nature and source of the letter’s alteration at this time. The Big Spring School District does have confirmation that the discipline letter was altered.

The reports, blogs and other sources on the Internet indicating that a Big Spring student was assigned detention for using the Firefox internet browser instead of Internet Explorer are untrue and were based on the fake letter. Detention is assigned in our schools after appropriate warnings are given. If students continue to engage in non-academic activities or fail to follow a teacher’s directive during class time, discipline can and will be assigned.

Sincerely yours,

John C. Scudder

High School Principal

P.S. I said this appeared to be real because this web page has multi links. After clicking on a few more links I found this page. I'll post what is still relevant in time;
