Four times in my childhood, I fought back against bullies on the school bus. Three of them went down with marks, the fourth did a lot better. When I got older and much bigger, that all stopped. We taught my son, who always big, and at his grade school peak was about 6-4, 275, that he should never bully. More importantly he learned that if anybody ever lays his hands on you, do what you have to to stop it. Also, that if there is a punishment for breaking a school's code of non-violence, accept it, do the time and ignore words.
This boy, did exactly that, and should be praised for standing his ground.
Many in public education, in their own defeatist image, are doing their best to instill a pathos of self-loathing temerity.
The sexual harassment application is beyond silly and should be removed. If there is a penalty for fighting on the bus, accept that and move on.

I hope the choker's injury significant enough to serve as a reinforcement against future like events. As for my nephew who lives just below Southy, he better walk in in father's footsteps, and have to be pulled off the bully who would be found in a defensive fetal position.
