O'neal touched the child, he's a good teacher, the child was probably obnoxious to him, O'neal is suspended, as he should be, O'neal will be back, the child could remember it forever, the principal at Chief Joseph is not to blame for this incident, but his handling of the incident is typical of his deceitful ways.
If anything good comes out of this, let it be the removal of Nordquist.

I can tell you what happened, my 7 year old witnessed it. The teacher threw__the student against the fence by grabbing a hold of his shirt. The student did say something to the teacher to anger him. Principal Nordquist then called the witnessing students into his office where they were forced to give written testimony on what they saw. When I called to protest, the Principal said he had "called me the night before the interrogation to notify us of his intent". That was nothing short of a total fabrication of the truth. Remember my boy is 7 and now fears repercussions. This situation has been mishandled and misrepresented from the onset. This principal, as the teachers and parents that have had dealings him will reaffirm, cannot be taken at his word and needs to be closely watched, which I will.
