Legal Question in Education Law in California
Can LAUSD make my child sign a statement without a parent? My son is 8 yrs old and they said he has committed a hate crime and did not call me until they had him sign a statement. Please help, is this legal?

This is absurd. An 8 year old can't form the intent to commit a hate crime. Furthermore, school officials lack the expertise or authority to even know what a hate crime is. Any statement that they had a child of 8 sign would be legally very, very suspect. I personally find this conduct outrageous.
