The admin is claiming they won't be using the assignment (which they've apparently been using for years, and which was "taken out of an online teacher resource and has been used in many schools.") anymore, but if so why did they expel the kid?
It's weird, but it sounds like they just wanted to get rid of a "problem family". Like why would administration even care about a particular teacher's lesson plans? And usually this doesn't make news. A parent tells the school or teacher "I'm not comfortable having X do this assignment." and the school says "Ok." and that's it. I get the feeling there's more going on between the parents and staff than they're telling us.
Ironically the removal wouldn't have happened in a public school. They'll gladly keep your kid and subject him to ten times worse.
Even if it was not not ill-intentioned, and the reaction by the parents was too strong, I support the reaction, because its better to err in the side of making teachers afraid to do things like this. They should know that anything that could even remotely be conceived of as grooming will swing the lights and cameras directly on them, with demands to explain themselves.

I'm guessing there is more to the story. The great thing about private schools is they can kick out anyone they want, which I support.
