Good. They need to be villified and called out. Clearly, the mother's hands were tied. She had already been jailed once. That's messed up as is. A lot of parents really don't fully understand or have the financial means (hiring a lawyer, etc.) to fight these kinds of ridiculous policies. Her kid is in kindergarten. This may be her first experience with a child in public school. Often, schools use "bully" tactics like this to scare parents into compliance. She made the right call to video it.
If I were her, I would home school my kid or move out of Georgia before letting him go back to a public school in that state.
