West St. Paul sociology teacher Glen Holmquist, accused of slapping a student at a high school dance, is cleared of an assault charge by a municipal court. Holmquist's attorney says that his client's action was justified as an attempt to maintain order, and that there should be more discipline "instead of the wishy-washy policy parents are advocating today."
