thank you so much for all of that info! And you hit the nail on the head. The Principle made a statement to me, that this might cause hard feelings, I told him it bygod better not affect my daughter's grades of there would be hell to pay! And he knows I mean it!(from a previous confrontation) Nor shall she be singled out and reticuled! I let him know, I am not playing, and he knows I carry a copy of the Constitution! LOL

Good for you. You are in for a long haul, but do make it perfectly clear that if they try to make your daughter a scapegoat, you will make their lives miserable. If there is one in your state, I suggest you find a parent's rights group like the Pacific Justice Institute. Just write them a letter, and keep them informed of the school's actions. If the school violates your rights as parents, they will back you up 100%.

If you can, keep records, dates you spoke with school officials, what they said, what you said. You may need them.

Also, sometimes local newspapers will pick up on controversy to sell papers. This can be a two-edged sword so you have to be careful talking to them, but exposing the agenda of a school to the public can be an important step toward change.
