I think there is more to this story than we are getting. His grades mean nothing. My son has been reading since he was 3, doing higher math since Kindergarten, scores in the 99 percentile and still gets bad grades. Having delt with the school system, it is possible that he was railroaded. I'm going to reserve judgement on this one.

If your kid was the one who received five stitches from this student, who admits he threw the first punch, gave him five stitches, you might be yelling that the school district didn't do enough by expelling the student. This schools district has a written code of student conduct, like all school districts, and, the consequences. For givinig your kid an injury requiring stitches, the consequence is expulsion.

This lawsuit is totally bogus, since the consequence would have been expulsion no matter what color or gender of student delivered the injury resulting in stitches.

With respect to whatever happened to you, you may have a legitimate gripe. But this kid and his father do not. They should be thanking the school district for not having this kid arrested -- and, the parents of the kid who got stitches may in fact be demanding right now that such an arrest should take place. School districts are not always right, but, they are not always wrong either. Expulsion from this school was an appropriate punishment in this matter. (And, any private school would have done the same in 2 seconds flat.)
