Hot take: I think the liberal abhorence of physical violence in schools in self defense of bullies. I don't think there's a good way around it or we should just let it get back to the "good ol' days", but kids who defend themselves often get the book thrown at them. I worked in schools years ago, and most of the time admin would suspend the kid who defended themselves with a wink and a nod to the kid to let them know they actually did the right thing by punching the bully in the nose. I saw a white rich girl get a black eye from the black girl she was being overtly racist to (even calling her the n word), and staff all felt it was justified. But there's a small contingent of administrative staff on school boards that will expedite expelling kids for these situations, which I also saw happen.

Idk, I just feel like if you're hurting people, people can and will kick your ass, and that's actually a valuable lesson.
