Colman Chadam, 11, has been told he must transfer to another middle school because he has the genetic markers for cystic fibrosis. The school says he poses a threat to other students, while Chadam’s parents are fighting the decision, which they call an overreaction. NBC’s Mike Taibbi reports, and Dr. Nancy Snyderman and Star Jones discuss the case.
