Switch schools, unless they are all under the same doctrine in that district.
In that case, you can either move to another district, Home School or accept the school diet during school hours.

No! Of course it’s not fair to the child or the mother, but if you cannot afford to move, pay for private school or stay home to home school what are the choices in the short term?
If you do a lot of suing, it’s almost guaranteed that the school will retaliate against your child in some petty manner.

This mentality is widespread and as imbedded as a state of deep, mass hypnosis. This is similar to those ‘No Tolerance’ rules about guns, where a child pointing a finger can be suspended. This is the school administrative world we now live in. Any changes will be incremental and will take a long time. Any significant changes may only be possible after this generation of School Boards has retired or been reassigned.

It’s amazing how many parents buy a house because it’s pretty without checking out the school. First and formost, you should check out the school and then hunt for the house. Too many don’t volunteer or attend school activities so have no idea what’s really going on in their child’s life 8 hours a day. Be the squeaky wheel. Get involved. If you don’t like something, address your concerns with the principal or school board. If that don’t get the goal then run for school board or take it to the newspaper.

We had a decent school but once a year there was usually some problem. A well placed phone call or two usually did the trick. And boy howdy, did I know just who to call or what law to quote, hee hee.
