A comment on Treating bullying as everyone's problem reduces incidence in primary schools. Parent comment
This is an excuse. Not a reason.
Based only on people's status and the way they look, certain affordances are made.
The bullies are effectively permitted to bully.
The bullied prevented from fighting back.
The zero tolerance is the excuse (not reason) used to implement that.
This is trivially tested by reversing the roles.
If the bullied becomes the bully, the punishment is not reversed.
