What the teacher did was wrong, and her apology half-ashed, but this is a minor incident that could have been settled with a private meeting and a correction in her behavior. Many children will exagurate a situation out of fear of being wrong and everything should be taken with a grain of salt, but this doesn't sound like the case.

What the guidence councillor did was dispicable!

Forcing a kid to sign a confession??? No way. I'd explain this is wrong to your son, and why this (legal) posturing happens. Do it by example, and show how an effort may or may not be successful, but it's done out of love and justice.

I'd write a letter to the principal and demand an apology.
If no result or correction of procedure, then the school board members individually. Then go public at the PTO meetings with each step of the bureacratic failure. Others may identify with the flaws of the process.

As an anecedote, my 3rd grade teacher tore up a doodle-drawing in front of me and then slapped me hard in class. I got over it eventually, because a lawsuit-happy educational system creates a processing bureacracy, not a learning institution.
Schools are only the stimulus, creating a love of learning is omnipotent.
