Preach. I almost got suspended for being punched in the face, because the school logged me as “being in a fight” and considered that evidence I’d broken a rule. My assailant was straight up walking down the hall and shoving anyone in his way, eventually deciding to punch me because I didn’t move aside fast enough. But because I was the only one who complained to a Vice Principle (and because his parents had enough money and influence in the school to make things ugly), school admin effectively tried to extort me into retracting the complaint.
Took six months and multiple hearings, along with a threat of lawsuit, to eventually get the school admins to reverse their decision.
Yeah my schools had the same zero tolerance policy when I was a child. Say an 80s level sociopathic bully beats up a much younger kid, both would get suspended. That way the school can’t discriminate against a child if they discriminate against every child. The school did something and it can’t possibly be discrimination, doesn’t matter that it makes school worse for every kid, the school board covered their ass.
