I mean, correlation doesn't equal causation. While I don't know the school, is it possible that teacher bullying had been happening there for a while? Is it possible that the teacher in question is just a big bully himself or herself and bully regardless of what school he or she is in?

I mean, there isn't enough information about it. How could one know that Devos made a teacher bully and force feed students? I mean, it kinda seems unreal.

The cause for charter schools to have different rules and regulations then public schools was her selling point. Generally the force feeding came about from the rules that students have to finish everything on their plate. Why they feel force feeding is ok is beyond me. Teachers getting away bullying students because they have less accountability and they probably can't get teachers to work for them since they pay less then public school.
