Homeschool or private school. Public schools are liberal indoctrination camps.

We are so discusted with th epublic schools, my wife and I are Home Schooling our two girls, 11 & 13.

As far as you son is concerned, I would drop it. The school has over reacted about an innocent incedent, don't make it worse (unless they initiate aciton against your son, then I say go to the School Board and raise cane).

When my daughter was in junior high, they gave the kids a psychological exam (without my knowledge), and based on the results, pulled certain kids into "counseling" where they interrogated the kids about their home lives. (She was already in private counseling for a traumatic experience, and we certainly didn't need the school to interfere!)

When she told me about it, I went to the school and raised cain. Then I pulled my daughter out of that school district, but the next one was just as bad, so I home-schooled her until I was able to move to another state! (We moved to TX.) The schools were much better in Texas, so she did 11th and 12th grade in the public school.

Public schools are essentially a mess and getting worse every year. I'd do home schooling again in a heartbeat. She learned much more from me than she did from the school.

Legal advice?... as disturbing as this story is, it doesn't sound like the admin caused any damage that would be required before punitive damages could be awarded.
It sounds like the real damage that took place was in the area of trust, and rightly so. (not to discount the humility your child suffered)
I think you did the right thing... stood up for your kid, and told the school where to stuff it... AND instructed your child on future responses.
RIGHT ON! If they give you any more guff, take the forced admission to their bosses. (After you pull your kid out)
