The Real School Bullies

I'm watching the news last night and am floored by the gall of Alief ISD.  They are railroading this African family who decided to make use of the Due Process offered them whenever they feel their child is not being treated fairly in public education.

Kenneth Chibuogwu, who's child is autistic, came to America in search of a better life, and free education for his children, but what he got in return was a reverse lawsuit filed on him for court fees the district had to come off of when they paid attorneys to fight the case brought against them by the Chimbuogwus.

Apparently this "free education" didn't include fair treatment, because the mother went to go and observe the child during school and found that he was crouched in a corner, distressed, and being ignored by other students, and whats most petrifying, the teachers too.

Instead of taking the initiative of responsibility for the mistreatment of this child, Alief ISD decided to bully them into removing their case from the courts.  This after a judge ruled that Alief ISD was in the wrong, but guess what they did?  They decide to take it to another court, for yet another decision, and recoup the over $100,000 in tax-payer dollars they spent from the Chibuogwu family.  Now the family is on the verge of filing for bankruptcy, all in the name of defending their child.  Isn't that a shame?
