The school claims there is much more to the story than just that one incident.
From the story:
Quote:
Mr Meek denied that the boys had been expelled only because of the contents of Riley's lunchbox.
In a statement the school said a pupil had been permanently excluded because "during the course of a recent four day exclusion, the pupil’s parents made it publicly clear that their child would not be following the school's policy on healthy eating upon their return".
It also said the decision was taken because of "the parent school relationship suffering an irretrievable breakdown that would have put [the] two pupils in an unacceptable position".
The school said: "This breakdown was due to misrepresentations in the local and national media that were both wholly inaccurate and grossly misleading, abusive language being used towards staff, and other inappropriate actions being taken that were designed to damage the school’s reputation."

Who knows who is telling the truth, but it doesn't sound like the child was excluded permanently because of his lunch that day. It sounds like it is much more about the parents.
