So, the school reversed course in the face of a social media and PR shit storm.
- No acknowledgement that the zero-tolerance policy that created the situation is under review.
- No indication of an apology to the student for failure to apply anything like rational judgement to the situation.
- No confirmation that all records of the incident are actually expunged
The school has a set of rules; absolute and inviolable. But just this once they’re not going to apply them, because it’s too embarrassing.
They’re not just authoritarian idiots, but also cowards without intellectual integrity.
