When I was a kid growing up in the Utah school systems, fighting was an automatic one day suspension for both students, regardless of who started it or what the circumstances were surrounding the fight. I support this policy.
It is valuable to teach a kid early on in life that authority figures cannot be relied upon for justice. It feels right and natural to me that standing up for yourself and doing the right thing in general is something that society will dumbly punish. Knowing that, and doing the right thing anyway, becomes an act of special courage. Which is as it should be. Steels a kid into a good man.
I support this kid. I don't know how long the vultures have been tormenting him or how long ago this happened, but the humiliation of this video may cause them to go after the kid with renewed intensity. They may want revenge, they may want to save face -- it's that thing that fighters are taught about how violence, by its nature, doesn't want to end. I hope and suspect that he's done taking their ****, and has steeled his heart in preparation to do it again and again if he has to.
