40. The selective excerpt gave the impression the boys got off scott free, and the girl was punished.

I agree that the girl will have much more long-term impact both from the trauma of the event, but also from how the school handled it. I also agree that the school completely mismanaged it.

But it isn't true that the boys got off scott free - at least not yet. Two entities are charged with disciplining physical violence at school - the school and the legal system. In this case, one handled it appropriately; the other did not.
