From another article on your link:

Ashe stated that parents of both students were notified of the incident. The child who hit Jacob was sent to meet with the assistant principal at Estabrook and was then asked to fill out a “think sheet” reflecting on his choices and actions. The student also missed recess for two days and wrote an apology. Ash said both sets of parents seemed satisfied with the school’s handling of the incident and the two students had a play-date several days after the incident. Neil Tassel, the Parkers’ legal counsel, said Jacob Parker and the student had “been friends and continue to be friends,” after the confrontation. Tassel said the Parkers were notified of the altercation and were content with the investigation and follow-up by the school. Tassel said the Parkers’ only concern was that the incident, while triggered by a disagreement in the cafeteria, may have resulted from the “atmosphere created by adults on the outside.”

Even if this area is a liberal mecca... It looks fishy, like Mr. Parker is using the incident to drum up $$.

Why else would Mr. Parker allow his young son to continue to be friends with and play with another young boy who (according to Parker) had been so manipulated by "the atmosphere created by adults" he attacked Parker's son?

What is wrong with people, when a father is unwilling to cut and run, but instead stays to fight the fight for the benefit of the whole school full of children? Many have left MA, and taken their kids out of the public schools, but they find once they do, they have no further legal standing, and their actions leave the kids still there just as at risk. Why is this man not lauded for his courage and trying to eliminate this indoctrination in schools, not to mention bring nationwide attention to it, instead of being accused by some of trying to make money from the whole ugly mess. The money is a legal fund, NOT for income.
