What century is this principal living in? In our school instead of punishing someone who did they they would educate them. Make him apologize, talk to him about how it feels to be called a name, etc. Your son doesn't learn anything by sitting facing a wall and it only then singles him out for ridicule. I would sit down with the principal and discuss what he hopes to accomplish by secregating your son. And yes, even if he wants to just punish, that seems excessive.
