Am I reading this right? The girl that was attacked and beaten was also given a 10-day suspension?
I think so. Crazy, right? Schools have had that policy for a long time. They suspend all the students involved, even if one was a victim of an assault.
Another girl, who was assaulted at the same school, also was suspended for 10 days last year. She challenged the suspension because her arm was in a sling when she was attacked, and the school reduced the suspension to 2 days. When her story hit the news, the same superintendent threw her under the bus, too.
That’s what the article says, but it is unclear whether for this, or the previous incident.
Zero-tolerance policies tend to work that way.
