His being fired had very little to do with the incident. He was sacrificed on the altar of political correctness and arse covering by the elected sheriff.

Year old article that sheds light on the DOJ and its stance on school discipline
So what do we do as a society? How can we take our schools back?
quote:
Just a few days ago, Attorney General Eric Holder ridiculously informed the public that black students were being punished more often and “harsher” than white students. He then made demands to change schools current zero-tolerance policies in order to fight the current racial discrimination of students via punishment or suspension. After hearing his obnoxious claims, Educational experts had no choice but to dispute the inaccurate claims.
quote:
Joy Pullmann, managing editor of School Reform News stated that, “It’s ridiculous to assign quotas for discipline based on race If we did that, for one thing, we’d have to believe that Asian students are severely under-disciplined,”– I don’t know about you, but that sounds downright racist (hopefully that doesn’t get back to Holder).
quote:
Andrew Coulson, director of the Center for Educational Freedom at the Cato Institute, stated that it would in turn have a disruptive outcome on classrooms by allowing already troublesome students to stay in the classroom. He clarified by stating, “The kinds [of kids] who just want to be free to learn in peace, who are not disruptive, have their education injured by the disruptive kids who remain in the classroom.”
quote:
Pullmann agreed by later expressing the concern that after a while, “Kids of the favored race know they can get away with more, so they misbehave more, and the well-behaved kids lose out on instruction because the teacher is busy trying to manage unruly students she can’t send to the principal’s office.”
So what do we do as a society? How can we take our schools back?
