Teacher Makes Students Duel With Swords, Lawsuit Claims. A 16-year-old girl suffered permanent injuries.
But the school described the incident as “a class in metal welding,” according to the family's attorneys. The lawsuit names Albuquerque Public School's Assistant Principal and former Chemistry teacher as defendants. The girl has had to undergo several operations, physical therapy and mental health counseling, the lawsuit says. The school has declined to comment on the lawsuit. The case is still pending.
