What the hell is “restorative justice”??
To make the students know their place
… restorative justice most often involves face-to-face meetings between a victim and an offender (though practitioners don’t use those words, preferring descriptors like “affected party” and “responsible party,” because “victim” and “offender,” as one advocate explains, “leave people fixed in time,” and restorative justice is all about change). These meetings—often called “circles”—are also attended by members of the wider community: family, friends, other people affected by the crime. And by the time everyone sits down together, weeks or months of planning and preparation have gone into the event, as restorative-justice facilitators first meet separately—with both victim and offender—to gather information and to discuss in detail the expectations and structure of the coming dialogue and the process as a whole.
There’s more but you can guess the rest. The high schoolers will be reprogrammed by the school and prostrate themselves before the teacher. Mea culpa and they will all sing Kumbaya then the students go forth having learned they have no free speech rights in Amerika while the teacher’s narcissistic tendencies bloom.
This is the style the Left has chosen in pursuing reparations as well.
Gulag speak.
Look what happened to Winston fin Orwell’s 1984. That is where this is heading.
