I feel for the kid in all this. I don't care what issues are involved; any time a parent raises a big enough stink in the school system, their kid's gonna catch hell from the other students. And you better friggin' believe the attempt to donate spellbooks to the school just earned the kid some beatings. I'm not saying the mother was wrong in protesting the unfairness of the situation, but there's a such thing as being "dead right", as in, "yes, you had the right of way when you stepped on the crosswalk in front of that oblivious driver, but now you're dead right."
