The only way I can see to stop this is to sue the school, AND the teacher as an individual. It would force many teachers to file personal bankruptcy, to protect their assets.
This teacher was acting under the authority of the state, as an agent thereof.
Any individual acting as an agent of the state and abusing their authority needs to be personally, individually, civilly accountable for their actions.
Suing the school is pointless, really.

Teachers like this one should be sued and his teaching certificate should be suspended. Also, I would like to know a lot more about the people who teach my children, beyond their simply being certified to take the job. Things like where did they go to school, what organizations do they belong to, do they practice a religion, are they married, do they have children, where did they grow up, are they political activists, have they ever been arrested and, if so, for what? Things like that. Every year before school begins, teacher resumes should appear in the local newspaper.
