DEMAND SCHOOLS TO STOP PUNISHMENT ON SELF DEFENSE!
Many schools in the united States punishes all parties during a fight without exception to who was in the right or wrong. Our community disables students to defend themselves in fear of getting punished. More bullies are given more opportunities to bully others because they want to get in trouble to get a suspension to stay home and out of class. It is UNACCEPTABLE for the schools to prevent student from practicing their rights! We made our children afraid to protect themselves anywhere for any reason. I believe we should encourage students to fight for their rights and be able to protect themselves when they need it most! WE DEMAND CHANGE! schools disable students from learning because they practiced one of their rights, the right to defend yourself in a reasonable force. I believe we should encourage our peers and children to protect themselves and speak up for their rights! Imagine if someone came and hit you and when they go for another punch, you push them, and you get suspended for "putting your hands on another student". It is unresonable that we fight for our rights but at the same time we punish anyone who practice their rights! Let's make change! Let's help our children have a safer life from bullying. If a bully know the possibilities of getting hit in self defense there won't be as much bullies.
Schools don't even investigate in anything that happened. They don't ask witnesses that were there or see cameras (if there are any). Help us to be able to practice our rights! Let grow as a community!
