Somebody should sue somebody's rear all the way off! Call me a racist if you must.

A student is turned over to police for a doodle

A junior high school suspended a student and turned him over to police because of a "doodle" he drew showing a person being hanged, his father claims in court.

So it OK to physically abuse a teacher but drawing hangman stick figures gets you expelled. Two words: Home School

Where did anyone say it was ok to abuse a teacher? The 300lb punk was arrested and charged with a crime.

According to the story, the punk turned himself into the principal. My point was that the school officials were not pro-active in the matter. In the case of the doddle, the school officials went to great lengths to violate the rights of the student and involve the police where no physical crime had been committed. Perhaps I'm reading to much into what is missing from the assault story but I would have expected the substitute teacher to involve the administration and the police after the assault on her.

After pushing the teacher down he left the classroom and walked to the office where he was arrested by police. What exactly is missing? Unless there was a period of time elapsed between the incident and the student walking to the office that hasn't been reported, I'm not sure what more you could expect from administration.

Nothing is missing. It's just the home school narrative to size any opportunity to promote what is good for some. Kind of like when some seize any gun related incidence to promote their agenda.

Immediately after pushing the teacher down he left the classroom and walked to the office where he was arrested by police. What exactly is missing?

he substitute teacher, who is retired full-time teacher, was rushed to the hospital with minor injuries and released a short time later.

I was basing my comments of the fact that someone has to have contacted the ambulance for the teacher and yet the student can turn himself in. Perhaps it is a more confined time period than I originally thought, but I expect school administrations to be on top of developing situations. Maybe that is unreasonable here.

Perhaps administration knew to check on the teacher because the thug walked down to the office and told them what he did. I don't see how you can slam administration for their response when you don't have any info to establish what their response was.
ETA: if it turns out that administration swept this under the rug for a few days and only took action after the video surfaced, then I would agree wholeheartedly. But we don't know that based on what has been reported to date.

This cretin is an immoral, cowardly, thug that needs to be kept away from his targets, which appear to be the defenseless older female segment of our society. This bully deserves no second chances in our public schools. What he deserves is a Criminal Record to follow him through his pathetic uneducated life until he meets the right 64 year old "little lady" with a Colt to equalize the size difference.

Nothing is missing. It's just the home school narrative to size any opportunity to promote what is good for some. Kind of like when some seize any gun related incidence to promote their agenda.

Pretty poor comparison to equivocate people who are champions of freedom and choice for parents in the education of their children (homeschoolers) to those who would take away your freedom and choice to own firearms.

If you don't want your kids around feral youth you have basically three options. 1. Buy a home in a higher priced neighborhood (usually the better the neighborhood the better the school). 2. Private school. 3. Homeschool.

Of course with choice 1 and sometimes choice 2 there is no guarantee that your child won't be subject to some insane administrator or teacher that chooses to make a chewed pop tart into a suspension worthy crime or a seatbelt cutter into a criminal case.

Your choice, choose the best you can for your kids.

With choice 1 and 2 you have no guarantee the schools don't have the same type of bullies in students there either; at times they are worse if they have money. And just because a school is in a lower income area doesn't mean it has tons of bad kids. They are everywhere at all walks of life.

While I understand that home schooling works for some, IMO there are drawbacks there as well. My daughter went through public school and it was fine. She had some minor incidents with bullies (not physical, but emotional), but that was a learning experience that taught her to be a little tougher and learn to deal with them. Unfortunately home schooling sometimes shelters a child so much that they get no life lessons in dealing with these types of issues. When they get out in the real world it becomes a shock to them and they many times can't deal with it. I have seen several cases of this recently as the number of home schooled or private schooled kids hit public college or the work place. It is key that those who home school make sure to engage their children in outside activities like group sports and other things so they are not total social introverts and know how to deal with controversy and those who may be a little less kind to them in the outside world.
