The claim being made was that the student was disciplined for stupid nonsense like not having his shirt tucked in - but it turns out it was far far worse:

[quote]? throwing another student against the bathroom wall and threatening, “I’m going to use your
head like a soccer ball”
? picking up and throwing his desk and multiple chairs in the direction of his classmates
? lifting his desk above his head and attempting to throw it at other children
? jumping on another scholar
? kicking, scratching, and punching a teacher
? throwing a stapler
? punching a teacher and continuing to do so even after the teacher said “you’re hurting me”
requiring that safety guards be called
? hitting a teacher in the arms and stomach
? reaching for a teacher’s neck and choking her
? kicking and punching the school’s principal and grabbing her necklace, breaking it
? running away from adults on a field trip
? throwing his teachers’ cell phones on the ground and breaking them
? throwing a tantrum on a visit to a museum that caused two museum workers to have to restrain
the student as he kicked and screamed
? repeatedly and forcefully punching the gym wall
? ripping posters off the wall
? throwing and kicking objects in the main office, requiring the assistance of school safety officers
? ripping a bookshelf door off of its hinges
? pushing chairs and desks around the classroom and throwing a book in the classroom, with
other scholars present
? stabbing the walls with pencils[/quote]

A lot more than shirts not tucked in going on there..  This is a kid with serious behavior problems.  How very very dishonest to try and smear the school with lies![/quote]

Got to Go! That kid disrupted the learning of all of his classmates, most who are too poor to pay for private or parochial school. 19 other kids and their parents are thrilled that he is gone.[/quote]
