ACCD Granted Restraining Order Against Student

The Alamo Community College District has barred a student from its San Antonio College campus, going so far as to file a temporary restraining order preventing the student from contacting her instructor.

Franchesca O'Neal has filed a lawsuit against speech instructor Charles Falcon for ridiculing her in class and giving her a B when she felt she deserved an A, but the district used statements in O'Neal's legal filing to seek the restraining order.

In the legal filing, O'Neal states she was previously in the military and "can handle a sidearm and a semi-automatic assault rifle," and that "any person of sound mind is not immune to a psychotic break and subsequent killing spree." O'Neal is seeking $300,000 in damages, but the lawsuit states, "in exchange for every penny I have asked for, I would shoot him dead and walk away penniless," and she would, "blow the back of his head out."

O'Neal told KSAT 12 News the legal claim was not a violent threat, but a "spirited discussion in the courts." She said she brought the lawsuit after Falcon allegedly made disparaging comments about her in class and said her reputation and goal of becoming a United States Supreme Court justice is now in jeopardy.

The district is seeking a permanent injunction barring O'Neal from all its campuses, stating she has made terroristic threats, is unstable and violent and is a danger to herself and others, according to the temporary restraining order filing. SAC officials declined a request for an interview.
