Principal: "Explain to me why you're here, Mr. Knox" Leslie: "Ok, I hit him. But it was self-defense! Look at the video!" Principal: "Video?" Leslie: "And he was guarding the restroom! Girls shouldn't be in there, right?" Principal: "I have no idea what you're talking about but it sounds bad, as usual" Leslie: "Listen, make my suspension 3 days, 'k? I have a killer math test Friday"
You have a fascinating take on legal matters..You accuse nongovernmental personnel of breaking the law by entrapment when legally that isn’t possible..You say school officials are legally required to do a “full investigation” before punishing any infraction when there is no such general law and it would be impossible to enforce..The principal has much leeway on things he never witnessed and has no proof ever happened. He CERTAINLY doesn’t have to ASSUME every incident involved suspicion of rape based on the ramblings of the one accusing/defending himself..“But it sounds bad, as usual” sounds dead on the mark. Those worried about the Leslies of the world missing school due to punishment including suspension for their repeated misdeeds show commendable concern for perpetrators and little to no concern for their victims: the other kids who are scared to go to school out of fear of being beaten, robbed or otherwise harrassed by them.?Lawmakers and even the president have worried about those evil principals who suspend children for repeated misdeeds. They point out that these people are disproportionately represented in crimes later in life. They don’t seem to consider the possibility that the attitudes which got them suspended were the same attitudes involved in felonies later. Remember, around 90% of all crimes are committed by around 10% of all criminals.
