A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family’s lawyers.

    Was he expelled though? Only physical violence is an expellable offense? Making porn of a classmate and sharing it doesn’t get you expelled? What the fuck?

          If a child deliberately burns down a house, is it not arson? Crimes are still crimes, even when there is no legally culpable party. Falling trees do make a sound, even when nobody can hear them.

          The kid who did needs to be treated as an offender in every way but legally. Mandatory counselling, school-based corrections, suspension, that sort of thing.
