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.___

      Well she fucking didn’t did she?

      A child hitting another child isn’t a crime that requires an arrest, trial, and conviction. It’s a discipline issue that requires teachers to call the kids’ parents.

      And honestly? A kid creating deepfake porn is a much more serious discipline issue, but it’s still a discipline issue, because a middle school boy is still a fucking child. That kid should have been expelled and sent to therapy, but not arrested, because, again, child.

      Arresting a child for anything is insane - but private prisons profit off that insanity, and conservatives love the idea of black babies growing up to be prison labor, so the school-to-prison pipeline ruins more children’s lives every day.

      God, some people out there would have parents call the cops whenever their kids get in a fight. I hate this century.
