Those kids are given warning of the fire drill before time and one is taken out of the building before it happens, and even then he paces back and forth wringing his hands with worry and saying "what if it's real this time - what if it's real this time."

The Tennessee law says "reasonable fear" - someone with a mental illness doesn't fall into that category.

Not sure what point you are trying to make here. I agree with you 100% and I’ve already said that. The teachers were wrong. If they violated a law in addition to being wrong, then I assume they will be prosecuted. Sounds like there is enough evidence from the principal’s own admission that they will have a pretty tough time in court.
