Self-defense and unprovoked violence are two entirely different things. The law recognizes this and so do most sentient beings.

Sadly, this does not include most school administrators.

It would be inconvenient for them to recognize the difference between provoked and unprovoked violence. The grand unifying theory of bad school administrators can be summed up in one word: indifference. (Not malice, as many assume. They genuinely don't care who started a fight.)

Obviously, this doesn't apply to every single administrator. #include <std_disclaimer.h>
