They questioned him without me.’ Soloman’s mother has demanded an apology from his school, and says the way he was treated was racially-motivated (Picture: KTLA) Thea-Marie says Soloman is one of the few African-America childen who attends the school, and accused the staff of taking the word of a white bully over her black son.  She told KTLA: ‘I’m insulted. I’m offended. I’ve been disrespected. My civil rights have been violated.  ‘I can’t tolerate this. It has to stop.’  Soloman has now demanded an apology from the Saugus Union School District to clear Soloman’s name.  A spokesman for the school has yet to comment. Advertisement Advertisement
