Should bullies be expelled from school?

Answer 1

This should depend on the severity of the bullying and the techniques they use for bullying. Obviously, if weapons, computer hacking, or other criminal activity are involved, not only should there be expulsion, but criminal charges as well. But if it is just insults, then they should get detention or something, and maybe some sort of intervention. Mild assaults should probably get suspension and/or corporal punishment. If there is property damage, there should be restitution too.

However, discretion should always be used since what looks like bullying might be self-defense instead. For instance, there was an incident where a victim of bullying body-slammed the bully. Obviously, if teachers were to walk in at the end, they would think the initial victim was the bully. There are factors here such as imperfect self-defense and excessive use of force.

Answer 2

Yes. You go to school to learn and, as a side subject, make friends/good relationships.

But you don't go to school to be in agony, stress, fear or physical/emotional pain.
