Craig - A seventh-grader has been charged with assault and ethnic intimidation over a lunchroom fight, charges his mother calls outrageous and a waste of tax money.

"You want to discipline your kid for fighting, and you can't because you've got to defend his actions," said Nancy Sadvar, whose 12-year-old son pleaded innocent on Thursday.

She said her son got into a shoving match last school year when another student harassed him in Spanish. When both were asked to write down what happened, her son wrote, "Maybe now he'll start speaking some English," Sadvar said.

He was angry when he wrote it and isn't racist, she said.

Sadvar said one prosecutor dropped the ethnic intimidation charge but District Attorney Bonnie Roesink restored it. Roesink did not return phone calls.

The other student has moved out of the country, Sadvar said. The trial is set for Nov. 15.

1. Damn...the other kid moved out of the country?

Must have been some ass-whipping.

Seriously though, you KNOW this kid learned his attitudes on the races at home.
