"A New Jersey Superior Court judge&amp;#039;s one-month sentence to Dharun Ravi-the former Rutgers University student who recorded his gay roommate&amp;#039;s actions on a webcam- is sparking heated debate today. Ravi, 20, will also have to pay $10,000 in fines and spend three years on probation after his month behind bars. But for some people, like gay rights activists, the punishment is nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Steven Goldstein, chairman of gay rights organization Garden State Equality told press that the 30-day sentence was too light. &amp;quot;This was not merely a childhood prank gone awry,&amp;quot; says Goldstein. For others, the time fit the crime. Some were afraid a too-harsh sentence would make Ravi the direct scapegoat for Tyler Clementi&amp;#039;s suicide last September, the Associated Press reports. Ravi initially faced up to 10 years in prison. What punishment do you think he should have been given? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
