If this principal and her husband were arrested for trying to change the drug laws or for promoting the legalization of marijuana in Japan, then I would call it injustice.

But they were arrested for committing a crime everyone knows is very illegal in Japan and very frowned upon. They are also 1) in a very high profile position and 2) non-citizens. Two more reasons why committing this crime, or any crime, is stupid.

The reason for my analogy with Time magazine was this, given such a highly-regarded and surely high-paying position I would probably be willing to give up certain things in order to keep it. If I was being hired and the school said "You can't read Time magazine if you want to be principal here," I would probably say "Fine. No more Time magazine."
