Churchill, PA — There’s probably no better example of why the government needs to get out of the business of education than the following ongoing story taking place at Pittsburgh’s Woodland Hills High School. The school’s resource officer, from the Churchill Police Department, was caught on film assaulting a student in a physical altercation which appears to be one-sided.

Officer Steve Shaulis can be seen on video approaching Que’Chawn Wade, 14, who was seated quietly it seems, holding only his folder and a writing utensil. Shaulis takes Wade by the wrist, puts him in an armbar, reverses his arm behind his back and then applies a choke hold.

Possibly aware of the camera’s existence, Shaulis then takes Wade down a darkened hallway where he then picks up the young teenager and slams him to the ground. Wade alleges the officer punched out his front tooth and provided pictures to the media. The tooth had to be surgically reattached.

Now, the officer has been reassigned pending an internal investigation. Many who’ve seen the video have already concluded their own investigation and they believe the officer should be criminally charged. And now that the FBI is investigating the incident, it’s likely Officer Shaulis will find himself in court, instead of the teenager he charged with resisting arrest, something he clearly wasn’t doing. His attorney, Todd Hollis, made the following statement.

Too much has happened at Woodland Hills High School in the past six months for this to be ignored.

The attack is the latest incident at Allegheny County Schools’ Woodland Hills High, but it’s not the first. Apparently, two other students have come forward with similar stories of heavy-handedness followed by bogus charges to support and defend the officer’s and the administration’s actions. Hollis claims:

Four kids have been injured as a result of some conduct by one or more administrators at the high school

In 2016, the school’s principal, who’s also the school’s football coach, Kevin Murray, was recorded threatening a student. On no less than four occasions, Murray promised to punch an unidentified student in the mouth and knock out his teeth if he misbehaved again in school.

While Murray made his comments “man to man,” he was, in fact, dealing with a teenager, not a man, and was accused in a criminal complaint of threatening, bullying, harassing, and intimidating the student. The school district investigated the incident but cleared Murray of all wrongdoing and reinstated his position as principal, following a paid leave of absence.

Now it’s the school district, the police department, the FBI, and the district attorney’s office that’s headed back out to the school to now investigate the school’s law enforcement official.
