[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man . . .  I don't think getting a lawyer involved would be worth the trouble or $.  If we're talking about a 1 day suspension, I'd just deal with it, help your son learn his lesson to keep his cool and move on.

[b]The tough thing here is that I'm not sure your son was completely wrong.  [/b]Sometimes bullies need to be stood up too and ignoring and turning the other cheek don't always work.  Maybe role play how you can stand-up for yourself firmly, without name calling or swearing for future use.  Also, you have a teaching moment here that sometimes we have to suck-it-up when the ref/ principal/ or others in power make a less than perfect decision.  We can't fight everytime we feel aggrieved.  The world is unfair sometimes.  Because this is a situation where you belive your son was somewhat at fault, I would not want to send the message that this is a case where we get a lawyer.

Short of a lawyer, have you asked for a copy of anti-bullying policy that is being applied.  I'd read the policy and make sure their treatment of your son and the other kid complies with the written policy. 
[/quote]   I'll take it a step further and say that he was completely justified (and, fwiw, correct - the kid is an asshole).  It would be interesting to see the response, OP, if you were a traditional family and the other kid said to your som, "Your mother is a whore."  Dollars to donuts the administration wouldn;t be so exercised about calling the lother kid an asshole then.  [/quote]
