"Then she sent him back to class, in front of his peers."<br /><br />He said he worried his son would be mocked by his classmates at the school in the town about 20 miles east of South Bend.<br /><br />"This outrages me and shocks me," Allison said.<br /><br />Allison also said that Spencer's underwear would not have been exposed if the shirt was left down.<br /><br />"I don't understand what motivated her to ask him to lift up his shirt," he said.<br /><br />Board President Randall Myers said the board would not discuss personnel issues in public. Junior high Principal Kevin Caird said student discipline is confidential.
