But -- Even if it was a teacher -- on what planet is it acceptable behavior to cuss at a teacher? Why does that seem to be no big deal to people? And it's not the cussing that would concern me, it's the complete and utter lack of respect for an authority figure, the parents are absolutely to blame for how this young man was raised (at 17 you are not a kid and you should know better.)

Like I explained above, they teach the golden rule to kids, "Treat others like you want to be treated." That goes for everyone, authority figure or not (to me, anyway). I don't give a fuck if you're a teacher, a cop, or the president himself: if you disrespect me, you'll get it right back.
Parents have nothing to do with this, either. That's a cop-out excuse because people are always looking to blame others when a problem doesn't really exist. Kids will be kids. Teenagers have always been rebellious. You said yourself, at 17 they're no longer a kid and should know better.
As I said above, if I did that at 17, it would in no way shape or form affect how my parents raised me because I'm my own person. You did shit at 17, I'm sure, so the stuff you did... did that reflect at all on how your parents raised you? Nope, and you know that.
But anyway... issue a detention/suspension and that's it. Be done with it, move on with life. Simple.

And it was a deputy HALL MONITOR, farrrrrr from a police officer
That's like saying the rent-a-cops at the mall are police officers. No, they're the ones that try to contain you while they call the real cops in.
