Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : In science we were watching a clip from Spider-Man. In the movie clip Peter looks down and responds to Uncle Ben's question by saying,"big changes." I responded by sarcastically saying "is he gonna grab a ruler?" My science teacher told the class that if you have to use a ruler to validate yourself you are insecure. A couple of people started to believe that I was gay and insecure for what I said. As I'm trying to explain the joke to my friend, another student from across the room started yelling that I was gay and was asking him out on a date. I ask him to stop. He keeps on going. I was going to punch him, but decided that leaving the classroom to calm down was a better solution. I told my elbow partner that I was gonna go calm down in the bathroom and  tell our science teacher where I was and why I was there. 

A couple of minutes later the student who  started calling me gay came into the bathroom to "apologize." I told him I don't believe it because the last time he said something like this he promised me and SCHOOL STAFF that it would never happen again.( while going over the civil war he started  calling me a slave even after being asked multiple times to stop) By the time we started talking a campus monitor got us out the bathroom and started asking us what happened. 

I start to explain what went down and he completely cuts me off after I mention the ruler part. The campus monitor starts telling me that I should be EXPELLED FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT. I asked him how is my comment sexual harassment when the joke is not directed to anyone.(he still never explained why it was sexual harassment) My science teacher had  us  talk it out in her science room during her prep period. 

At this point the only thing she knew was that someone said "is he going to grab a ruler"  and that I left the classroom. I try to explain to her and the campus monitor starts trying to tell her that I should be "thrown out of the school for what I said " and that she doesn't need to know. She eventually convinced him that she can handle it with out his help. After I explained myself she made a note  to talk to the other kids parents. (The Campus monitor completely ignored what we said between each other and let him leave. She didn't call mine or punish me because I explained and apologized for the ruler joke and for  walking out)  I understand that the joke was inappropriate and I took things a little out of proportion. My question now is AITA for making a joke and somewhat arguing with a campus monitor over it?
