Schools with zero tolerance policies are bullshit.
Sometimes kids hit other kids. They’re figuring shit out.
Plus sometimes situations deserve a little violence.
Give a warning and expell the boy for the AI image instead. That does a hell of a lot more damage than a light smacking.
Everything with a zero tolerance policy is bullshit and just an excuse to avoid having to actually consider nuance and individual situations.
Zero tolerance? Except for deepfake porn, apparently.
The parents should sue the school for tolerating that.
According to the article, the parents are suing the school. Which is good.
the 13 year old was charged at least (because the parents of the girl pressed charges, with no help from the school)
I got the same punishment in highschool for climbing over a table in the lunchroom to start a fight with someone who bullied me as I did for showing up five minutes late to class. It’s all such bullshit. (The punishment was two days of in school suspension.)
