The heart of the lawsuit is the claim that he has been unfairly targeted by an alliance among the school’s principal, law enforcement, and prosecuting attorneys to ensure he would never teach again. Amidst seeking damages for lost wages and mental anguish, Schachter is looking to mend his fractured life and the erosion of his family’s mental health and security.

Deeply concerning are the details captured on body-camera footage where misinformed judgments about Schachter’s past and the sincerity behind the allegations were seemingly perpetuated by officials.
