Continuing with the email forward...
Scenario:
Johnny and Mark get into a fistfight after school.
1958 - Crowd gathers. Mark wins.
Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up buddies.
2008 - Police called, SWAT team arrives, arrests Johnny and Mark.
Charge them with assault, both expelled even though Johnny started it
They shake hands and end up buddies? Seriously, is this person writing this email FROM the year 1958 and is his Dad named Ward Cleaver?
I showed my mom this and she laughed. As a principal, she told me what actually happens as opposed to what happens in ignorant over exago land.
No Swat team is called and no charges are filed. Both Johnny and Mark are shown to my mom's office. She asks them what happened. They both lie. Their parents are called in and told that the children are suspended for a day or more (depending upon the severity of the fight). They come back to school and avoid each other for awhile eventually becoming more concerned seeing the latest comic book movie.

OK, this is a stupid '2008' exaggeration. It angers me because we do have a problem with over-use of militarized police tactics.
Now, there was the case of the 7th grade boys charged with felony sex assault for slapping bottoms at school.
