There was a issue at my son's school where the teacher stood in front of the class, and made a announcement that basiclly drew attention to my son and his friend. She wants students to come to her if they have a complanit, exspeacilly if my son was involed. And if so she will make sure that he will be removed from school. I am not saying my son is a angel but for a teacher to singal him out like that is wrong, and all the school wants me to do is put my complaint in writing and they will look it over...I would like to add that my son is white and his teacher is black... I point this out because I feel if it was the other way around this would be handle in a different and more quickly matter.

the beginning of any law suit is to consult an attorney, but it really doesn't sound like you have a case. You have a complaint, which you have taken up with the appropriate party - the school.
If the school fails to act and the teacher continues, you may be able to eventually show some sort of harassment. But right now you do not have behavior so egregious that the law provides remedy.

Is this what your son told you or is this what the teacher told you? If this is your son's version of the events, I definitely would contact the teacher to get her side of the story before proceeding. I would put in a written complaint and have the school look into it. The fact that the teacher is black and your son is white is probably irrelevant unless there is a history of racial discrimination by this teacher and I would not put it in the written complaint.
Personally, I think your son is feeding you a sack of lies here and most of this stuff is probably not true.

Make an appointment to see the school board or even the PTA. But do write up your complaint and submit it to the School Board they are the ones who do a lot of reviewing and send a copy to the superintendent of the school district, and the principle ask to talk to them in person make the time to go to there office. If the teacher has a record it is out there. But and I say this because I am white and worked with native Americans do not go after the black and white issue you will come across wrong.

Suit for what? Pointing out that your child may be involved in an issue that involves more than one student? Perhaps "angel baby" is a bully and the other kids are afraid to come forward. Hmmm - is that the teachers fault, or the parents?
How about teaching your child accountability for his actions? How about the other parents file suit against you for being a pass the buck parent who would rathe save juniors feelings than teach him to be a responsible parent?
I am a parent - and it's parents like you who think there kids deserve some special treatment that make me ill -- maybe you need to find out what your precious baby is doing in school to find out if the teacher was justified in her actions.

unless your son is the only white kid in the class or him and his one friend are the only white ones i would say you don't have a case at all.
Maybe instead of getting mad at the teacher you should tell your son not to act up in school. What lesson are you teaching your kid when you are always looking for someone to blame for his problems and bringing race into it so quickly. I would say you are a bigger problem for you son then the teacher.
Oh no the teacher singles out my kid when he causes trouble. Waa it is no fair. Oh wait yes it is.

Can you have your son pulled out of her class? Then you would know if it was your son's problem, or the teachers. It looks like you and your son might have some issues that have nothing to do with the school, but, hey, I could be wrong.

I think you need to speak to that teacher first. to get the flip side of the story. You really need to do this then go to the principal. You would want to go through the chain of command. As for as singling him out, If he and his friend were the only two involved they had already singled themselves out. Color has nothing to do with right or wrong. I am a parent. I know we love our little angels, however they can be wrong sometimes. No one is perfect. I do hope you can settle this without spending money.

I guess you'd need to go to the legislature first and have them pass a law because it doesn't sound like anything's happened that you can sue for.

It seems like you could charge her with Slander or something go to the local police and see what they have to say.
At the very least I would take your child out of her class or better yet home-school him. (When you do that the school district loses money and they hate that).

I really don't understand what you think you can sue for
You said it yourself - your kid is no angel.
Lady - time to stop passing the blame off on everyone else but the one who deserves it. You and your son have a lot of growing up to do.
