[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched the video and think this was blown out of proportion.  Some of the things I have witnessed at DCPS are WAY worse than this video.  Was this ok - no but not worth suing over IMO[/quote]

She's not suing over the shove.  She's suing because when she went to talk to them about it, they lied and said it never happened, and then when the video proved it happened, instead of apologizing the school barred her from campus.  This isn't rocket science.  The school is in the wrong here.

And to everyone saying they can not imagine using foul language on school grounds or whatever other pearl clutching nonsense - I seriously doubt you'd be so bound by propriety if this was your kid.

I don't have a kid at this school, and I don't have a dog in this fight, but I think the responses have been completely strange.  There was a video on here a couple years ago of a teacher pushing an elementary student in the hallway of a school and DCUM was sharpening the guillotine.  The teacher was convicted of assault, and that kid was older than this one, and wasn't pushed as hard as in this video.  And the school didn't even try to lie and cover that one up.  So I'm interested in how people have decided that the real problem in this situation is that this kid's mom was upset, not that her kid got shoved and the school lied to her, got caught on the lie, and then barred her from campus.[/quote]
