Nathanael Greene Elementary School is an elementary school in Stanardsville, Virginia, a 192 acre town (to put that in perspective, this community college is about the same size as the whole fucking town), which basically consists of a highway intersection. It's named for the Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene. Chris attended fourth-grade classes at this school. To this day he consistently misspells the school's namesake as "Nathaniel Greene," so he obviously learned a lot there!
Chris was pulled out of the school by his father Bob after telling Bob that he had become homophobic due to sitting on the homosexual principal's lap (srsly). His later hate for homos can be traced back to this incident,[1] despite being far too young at the time (especially for a sheltered retard) to know what homosexuality even was.

Based on "physical abuse from 5 faculty members", Chris's parents took the case to Greene County court. After the school board threatened to lock Chris away, his family moved to Chesterfield County.[3]
What actually happened
Many theories have been thrown around about what actually happened during that incident, since Chris is wont to leave out important details (such as what prompted them to "abuse" him), or spin the story in a way that favors him. The way he describes it, apparently, the school faculty dragged him out of class for no particular reason, pinned him to the floor and shoved a tape recorder in his face to record his screams as they laughed at his suffering. Then, the dubiously homo principal picked him up off the floor and held him on his lap, while attempting to molest him.
There are many details about this story which don't add up. Despite being 20 years ago and being Virginia, principals aren't supposed to let kids sit on their lap for the exact reason Chris was afraid of, and it was very inappropriate behavior. But maybe Virginia law is less stringent. Also, the principal should have known that Chris was autistic (he does like to make it very clear), and known that autistic kids dislike physical contact. Experience with special needs children is required for such a position, but again, this is small town Virginia we're talking about. But public schools are required to have faculty experienced with speds, so he can't go saying "They didn't understand mah AWTIZUM".
He also leaves out what exactly happened before the incident, which would give insight into the reason behind their actions. He probably doesn't mention it for the same reason the case was thrown out of court: he was probably tard raging and couldn't be restrained, which would fully justify their actions. In court cases, there is a preliminary trial where the judge decides whether the plaintiff has a case or not. This is where it goes to county court or is dismissed as frivolous. Bob probably admitted that Chris has autism, and therefore, has trouble controlling himself, and would attack other students for little to no reason. This was 15 years before Columbine, so security guards hadn't been placed in public schools yet. With the safety of the other students in mind, the teachers had no choice but to physically restrain him. They probably took him to another room, and when he wouldn't calm down, they would have had to hold him down while the proper authorities arrived.
The tape recorder is a bit puzzling at first, but makes sense when you remember what Bob said about them wanting to send Chris to an "institution". They probably meant special ed, but remember that Bob is old and thinks that anything to do with psychiatrists means a mental hospital. Since this obviously wasn't the first time Chris had sperged out, they needed proof to send to the courts, if needed, to bypass parental consent and have Chris sent to a private institution for special ed. With proof in hand that Chris was out of control in a mainstream environment, his parents moved to a different county to get away from the school system and homeschooled him until Greene County Public Schools forgot about the whole thing. Or, he was expelled and was forced to leave the county for education. In America, when one is expelled, they're expelled from the entire county public school system until the board decides it's safe for the student to mainstream, so this is a real possibility and his parents just lied to him.
