"Hector Henderson"

A student was threatening Hector with murder. The Assistant Principal dismissed the reporting of the threat as being just a popular phrase among kids. After that, Hector was physically assaulted 3 separate times. The AP said it wasn't bullying, and nothing was done to punish anyone. The third time, the violence wasn't even reported by the substitute teacher. Finally, the fourth time a bully took a swing at Hector, he hit back in self-defense and was punished with ISS for "mutual combat." The AP gave no consideration for self-defense because he unilaterally decreed the prior threats and beatings were "unrelated." They weren't. The parent had to withdraw Hector to homeschool, to keep him safe.
