You tell me me when neurotypical kids pushing, ignoring and talking over another classmate is acceptable in any circumstance. I will wait. [/quote]

We have not heard the other side of the story.  Believe me, it could be quite different.  This is what the child tells his mom.  Have you never had your child tell you something from his point of view--"You never let me play video games" for example, when he frequently plays video games.

It is quite possible, from the way OP describes her child, that he is the one talking over others.  I just have a hard time believing that a teacher and all the kids are deliberately rude to her son.  It is likely that the teacher lost patience with the child.  She should not have done that, but it happens.

I was in a workshop once with a mom who kept talking about how mean the other kids were to her son--especially the girls.  It was a very emotional issue with her.  She just thought everyone--including the teacher, was so mean.  It finally came out that her son had had a crush on one of the girls and made it quite obvious--to the point that the girl reacted by being mean to him.  Was that nice of the girl?  No.  However, she was the one who was the brunt of the attention that this child gave to her.  Her friends teased her about it and this was her reaction.  Was any of this right?  Should the kids have teased her?  NO.  However, the mom didn't mention this at the beginning of her complaint--only as an aside at the end.  She didn't realize that her son had created a situation where other children bullied the girl.  So, the girl reacted in a mean way.  
OP needs to remember that all of these kids are learning and growing.  I guarantee that none of them are totally self-assured and as confident as she seems to think.
