A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family’s lawyers.

    Schools with zero tolerance policies are bullshit.

    Sometimes kids hit other kids. They’re figuring shit out.

    Plus sometimes situations deserve a little violence.

    Give a warning and expell the boy for the AI image instead. That does a hell of a lot more damage than a light smacking.

      Everything with a zero tolerance policy is bullshit and just an excuse to avoid having to actually consider nuance and individual situations.

      If the story is true it would be overly excessive for both to be expelled. Also the boy who seems to be 13 years old as well. That’s just very young. But then again I’m from the socialist paradise Germany where we don’t think it’s appropriate to throw kids into prison or ruin their lifes otherwise :)
