My kid is a junior in highschool and she is a sweet kid. She has a best friend named Abby and they have been friends since preschool. It’s really cute how long they have been friends. They tease eachother all the time
Last week at school she had to go the principal on Friday because one of the teacher heard her call Abby a bitch. It was in the context of her saying yesss bitch in agreement with her. Abby was brought in and it was explained that no bully was happening and it is a saying.
Well the school gave my kid a bully mark and a week detention for it. I went in and fought it today with the school board and Abby gave her own statement. I got an email today saying it was removed but it was pretty rude and ended with you can come to the school and not go above the principal if there is an issue. According to my wife there is gossip that I was a huge jerk at the school for fighting this.
So outside opinions

School culture is fucked up. Just because some school administrators think you’re an asshole is zero indication that you actually are.
Generally speaking, they view men showing backbone as assholes.
