The assailant has also been suspended as well.

They forgot that in the title. But I'm sure it was just an honest mistake...

Also that dude fights like a bitch.

Why would the obvious outcome need to be in the title? The problem being highlighted is punishing the victim.

I completely agree, but I don't think there are any more schools in the US that won't suspend the target of the harassment as well. I talked about this in another recent thread, but a kid in my school was punched in the back of the head when he had no idea it was coming and got the same suspension length as the one who threw the punch

And then they fucking wonder why kids are driven to become school shooters.

Schools are pro bullying. Abolish school

Any more? I got suspended for being bullied a few times in the 90s. Sometimes the bully also got in trouble, seems to have a high correlation with if their sport was in season. I guess when the whole team sucks you need the mediocre players more.

Because it's a misrepresentation of the situation, a better title would be: "School Hate Crime: Racist Kid Yells “N Word” While Attacking Black Girl, Breaks Her Nose And Hospitalizes Her, but both get suspended"

Is this normal in lemmy now? The guys has a good point, but got more downpoints.

He should be expelled. Maybe one day he'll get his punishment. But those parents of hers I bet are talking to a expensive lawyer,
