What is the name of your state? california. my son is being expelled from his catholic school. this has been building for a couple of years. he has been diagnosed with a mild case of ADHD. he has issues at school with his reactions to other kids teasing and taunting him. he either acts out or he shuts down and won't respong to anything or anyone for sometimes 10 minutes or more. the principle has called him violent, and believes he is a danger to other students. which is in direct confict with his own teachers opinion. when other kids hit our son, they have been told to appologize to him, when our son far less, he has been suspended. the last incident was 3/5/08. he had a rope wrapped around him from another student, that he was trying to escape from and was getting upset. a teacher, in her own words , said when she grabbed our son from behind, he jerked his arm out of her grip. she also didn't believe he was aware that it was her grabbing him. the principle accused our son of swinging at a teacher and said he was being expelled for violence. we were able to talk her into a two day suspension. we believe she doesn't want to deal with special needs anymore and was looking for a reason to remove him. we have since decided to remove him from the school for fear of expelsion which would ruin his chances of being accepted to a catholic high school. is there anything that can be done to prevent the school from treating him in this unfair way?
