159. check with the aclu
and a lawyer who specializes in education law (possibly through your local legal aid). if at some point the harrassment continues and your son is placed in suspension (in or at home), then perhaps the school could be considered to be denying your son an education based upon his political views. :grr:

casually mention to the principal & teacher that you've already contacted a lawyer (even if you haven't; they won't know). i used to be a teacher & once i had to do battle with the superintendent's wacko wife. those bureaucratic types are so cowardly the mere saying of the phrase "well, i spoke with a lawyer already and he/she says...."
will cause them to cave quicker than a souffle in an earthquake. :evilgrin:

if they bring up "libel," inform them that truth is a defense. (well it is in texas at least.) as to an attack on the pres' character, does he even have one??? ;)

on the bright side, your son will have some interesting things to put on his college essay.
