I really, really, hope this is a joke.
I think I'd leave a copy of that at home for the lawyer and go to Friday's detention with my son. I'd ask Mr. Hilliker if he in fact was serious, and if he said yes, I'd punch him out until he was unconscious.
the length of a kilometer is less than a mile.
Sounds like a nazi to me.
That isn't the only lie they teach!
Mr. Williker was probably given that job because he is a Democrat.
The kid was spot on correct in pointing out the teacher's fallacy!
Most likely, the teacher can't be fired due to union rules - but this is a case of the perfect example of how the unions have corrupted this function.
Commenters earlier have missed the point completely.
The detention was stated to be for the disrespect and disruption the kid caused.
The teacher verifies what we know to be true, that a kilometer is shorter than a mile (approx. 6/10 of a mile) and he gives the kid credit for accuracy, while taking him to task for his manner is sharing that information.
Teachers are not infallible, and may err or misspeak. There is a proper and productive way to ask for verification if the statement seems to be incorrect.
Just sayin'
Does anybody care that this happened almost 20 years ago? Is that how far we have to go back to find something to bash teachers for? 12:33, you get it!

You are as bad, if not worse, than this teacher.
