Why literally make a federal case out of it?
One little mistake usually is what leads to a big $%*$ up. And I'm sorry but when it comes to my kids, there should be no little mistakes that put them in serious danger.

He's fine.
The school knows about it. It will be fixed.

It's fine THIS time. Making a "federal case" out of it now may save the next child's life.
That's the way it sounds to me too. But wait it will probably turn out the principle is white and the child is black and it will be spun as a racial crime.
Publicity can be helpful. Perhaps other school administrators will read this and take action that it won't happen at their school. This incident is not uncommon.
