According to the suit, Nashwan was bullied and harassed on Jan. 6 in the middle school cafeteria by older students who called him a terrorist and asked him when he was going to blow up the school.

This. So he said out loud he was going to blow up the school.

He shouldn't have been interrogated like that.

Seriously, Gaga, when you accuse a child of being a terrorist based on nothing, then you lose any credibility at all. This is America, and freedom of religion matters. It's what makes us different and better.

And it scares me that you sit on a school board.

But yeah let's get our pitchforks and march right up to the school based on one article.

You don't know anything. We haven't heard the school's version. I would think you would actually want to hear all the evidence .

Frankly i am amazed at how quickly some of you are all in to a ginned up media story before all the facts come out.

 Give me a break.  You do it all the damn time, but you just like to argue.  You just don't care in this case b/c he's Muslim.  Remember - you take their religious freedoms away, Christians are next. 

When someone says outloud " i am going to blow up the school" then the school must act. If he was bullied that is a seperate issue from saying he will blow something up. Then the school has every right to search him, call the police and detain him.

Ok. If what he said happened actually happened the school should not only pay the money but everyone involved should be fired. If that's not the way it happened then the kid's a liar and a terrorist.

 Yeah, God forbid, we read the article and the news presented.

 Seriously LL?  It's HIS lawyer talking.  You know the Schools lawyer cannot speak on this.   Wow.

 And lawyers have an ethical obligation not to file suits they know are frivolous.  So, unless a judge tosses it for being frivolous - where there is smoke, there is fire.

 So it is the "seriousness  of the charge" not the actilual evidence that matters.  Funny how i have heard that same statement from liberals. 

Where is the confession? Have you seen a copy of it?

School law allows search and seizure.

 Ok lol.  What was bigoted about saying i want to hear all the facts.?

No i am treating this for what it is. An agenda piece.

 A news article reporting the filing of a lawsuit is not an agenda piece.  

I will wait until the next story comes out where he was found to have been stockpiling weapons in his bedroom or his house blows up when his pipe bomb accidentally goes off.

This is more propaganda to "prove" muslims are peaceful and being wrongfully accused.

That being said, if he was bullied, then that needs to be addressed by the school. And if he really was forced to sign a statement without the presence of his parents, then the school was wrong, too. But my guess is there is a lot more to this story than this propaganda story is telling.

So what if they found nothing? If you threaten to blow up a school you are going to get searched whether its an empty threat or not.

I just pulled and read the Complaint. If even one of the allegations is true - that school and those administrators are in trouble.

Here's an interesting fact from the Complaint that someone would have to be stupid beyond belief to claim if not true because it would be easily verified. The boy was in the Special Education Department of the school. The school evaluations and reports themselves reported that the child has -

"severely impaired language skills"
"has difficulty with understanding spoken language and exhibits weak vocabulary"
"poor linguistic abilities when compared to same age peers"
"significant weaknesses in cognitive and speech and language development"
"weakness within the area of vocabulary significantly impacts his academics, particularly his reading comprehension"
"ability to define words presented in isolation was found to be below average"
"immature sentence length and structure, frequent hesitations and word finding difficulties"
"continues to struggle with the production of grammatically correct sentences, the understanding and use of age appropriate vocabulary, organizing his thoughts and ideas and in producing fluid speech"
"difficulty naming common objects"
"continues to struggle formulating grammatically correct sentences, demonstrating an understanding of vocabulary and retaining information presented orally. His immature sentence length and structure and his limited vocabulary interfere with his ability to be an effective communicator"
"vocabulary is an area of weakness"
"socialization development is delayed. He does not use language effectively in social interaction"

Additionally - he always tested low with respect to being able to understand relationships between words - and he was tested often as a special needs child - BY THE SCHOOL. They are the ones that knew best of his disabilities.

His teachers included on the reports that he is "very sweet and cooperative", "a kind boy and gets along well with his peers", "is very police, well mannered and enjoys playing with others" "has respect for his teachers" "a cooperative youngster" "he has always been a very nice, polite and well adjusted young man".

 

 

 

Additionally, his mother states that she was outside waiting for him after school, and calling him repeatedly on his cell phone, worried because he didn't come out.  She didn't know where he was for 2 hours and the school did not call her.  And she signed the verified complaint under oath.  

While I feel for those who have no desire to eliminate the Western culture and attempt to assimilate to our way of life, like it or not, our lives, our country, and our culture is under attack. Threats to blow up a school are not taken lightly, even if allegedly made under duress by a student with "special needs."

Personally, growing up there were children with "special needs" at my school. In fact, when I was in 6th grade, I tutored them. I had a boy who had a hook for a hand, and was mentally challenged. I had a deaf girl who could not speak very well, too. I had some other children who were classified as "retarded", a word which is now banned from the English language. I worked with them daily for that entire school year. As a 6th grader, this was a big responsibility, and I felt honored to have been asked to do this.

These children were kept in their own row of classrooms, and had their own lunch hour, recesses, etc. This was for the safety of these children, and it protected them from the type of teasing that the average healthy, "normal" children do. (Let's face it, kids can be cruel.)

So flash forward to today. If schools even mentioned separating special needs children from the rest of the school, parents would get in an uproar that they were treated "differently." Singled out, discriminated against, etc. Great. Put them in with everyone else. Treat them equally, rather than granting them their special needs. but don't be surprised when they get bullied. School administration can only do so much, and much of the time their hands are tied.

I suspect that because of recent world events, schools aren't taking any chances when it comes to threats. I just hope this lawsuit doesn't tie the school administration hands even tighter.

.
The suit said that cafeteria workers failed to notice the bullying and, after being repeatedly harassed, Nashwan said he was a terrorist and “was going to blow up the school fence.”

The School HAS to act. The school doesn't do all the investigation . They have to presume that any reported threat is real. If it turns out not to be true then it turns out not to be true.

 The school's first ACT should have been to call his parents.  

You dont know what the school did or did not do.
