School-aged kids need to be allowed to fight back against school bullies if they are assaulted. They should not be suspended, expelled or disciplined for defending themselves when a school bully assaults them.

All too often this ends up happening, as dimwitted school administrators have so-called zero tolerance policies that result in a boy or girl getting suspended because they were "in the fight". That needs to stop right now. It teaches children a terrible lesson in life.
