What do you do when you know your child school is lying on your child?

Short story: My child got in trouble at middle school. I know my child played a part in how this mess started because he did not follow directions, but I know for fact that two of the allegations against my son are lies because the AP and Security lied at the hearing we went to and changed their story twice. My child distrust the school system as it is because of incident that him when he first began school, but did not tell me about until earlier year. I appealed the ruling against him and they made his punishment worst.How can tell my child to trust the authority at the school when they are capable of threatening, intimidating and lying on my child? As a parent what would you do? I tried to handle this on my own with his father, but I'm overwhelmed with angry and his dad just want our child to be the happy child we know him to be. Our child know what he could have did differently, but how do you stop the teachers and staff from continue this same process again?

And before anyone ask; No, I'm not a overprotective mother. My child has been hurt by the school system and they are allowed to get away with damaging and blaming my child.

Update:

I know what my child did wrong. The problem is they stated my son said he "would get me and my lawyer" on them. Which they stated is a threat, but the security guard stated during the meeting that he threaten to call the police on my child when I asked him.Then during the second meeting in front of the committe he said he never said this and the AP said "she didn't recall" she used this phrase a lot during the meeting. The man testified less that a foot beside the both of us at the first when we were at the first meetin. As for the reason why they would lie. In our state according the ethics that the employees for the public school are to go by they can not verbally or physical abuse my child and the threat he made is can be grounds for terminations and civil lawsuits. The reason I know they lied is because I was present. I'm not going by what my child told me, but by what they told me. Then they changed the story. My child should be punished for what he actually did not for lie.

    unfortunately this is a tough question to answer. perhaps if you gave a more detailed picture of what actually happened, one could discern whether your child was playing you, or if the school administrators were truly liars.

    my problem with seeing the administrators as cons is that i can't see how it would help them...why they would be motivated to do something like that.

    i know you are angry. any mother would be when you feel like the "world" is against your baby. your child sounds like he was in the mix of something pretty major to have to be up for what sounds like expulsion.
