Prior to the video going viral, the student hadn't been suspended. That's also become typical across the country. The genesis of all this is the "School-to-Prison Pipeline" hypothesis proferred by some of Chris's moronic colleagues in higher education. It's the largest harebrained conspiracy theory out there at the moment. Since every teacher and every administrator at every school with any significant black population has heard of this theory many times and have been admonished to not discipline so many black students, it is indeed a conspiracy on the part of teachers and administrators to target black students and then put them in the criminal justice system, so that they can eventually be imprisoned. In concert with police, prosecutors and judges. Everyone who believes that, stand on your heads.
You won't be shocked to learn that violence against teachers has been spiking, while, amazingly, suspensions and expulsions have been declining. Even teachers' unions, reliably down with the cause in the past, are starting to get red pilled because their members are facing more and more serious violence from students like this one. In case you're interested, instead of removing this violent, androgynous student who appears to have a few extra Y chromosomes floating around, so she cannot harm any other teachers or students, the preferred path is now called "restorative justice." This also emanates from some the advanced brains of Chris's dopey colleagues whose life experiences outside of the academic bubble generally rise to a number no greater than one that can be counted on one of your hands. Restorative justice was create in the 1970s and the idea was essentially like restitution. The offender was to make things whole, or as whole as possible, for his victims. That original conception of restorative justice has now been stood on its head and bastardized into essentially a contemporary encounter group, where the offender/criminal gets to vent at his/her victim. Because as we all know, sharing our feelings is what resolves these situations, as well as making crime victims aware of how they are complicit in the "systems" that oppress the criminal offenders in our schools and beyond the school walls, as well.

Any outburst or violence means you're out of my room, period. It's easy to blame the kids for their behavior, but once you meet the parent(s), you quickly learn what the root of the problem almost always is.
I mean, his father had to pack him off to a military school.
It's a real drag having to read that type of bullshit when, it's possible sometimes, you have a strong argument but it has already been derailed by the tenor of your words.
As for students who behave violently toward their teachers and counselors, they should be removed from school and their parents be charged with aiding the assault and they, spend time in the poky if the student is under the age of 18. This way, they will take their parenting more seriously and initiate some discipline at home - take a little responsibility for having their brood in the first place.
This would definitely put a strain on the family income and will force the parents to have a little more forethought in how they build their home life. As for single parents, yeah, it's gonna be tough and they'll stop being couch potatoes when they get home from work and put a greater effort into that thing called, being a parent. If you don't want that in your life, don't have children. Responsibility.

And he gets all his info on it from right-wing websites. So he thinks he understands what “Chris’s dopey colleagues” do, but he doesn’t. He believes in a caricature.
He doesn’t understand that scholars have constant debates about most issues, and try to gather evidence to see who is right. I have no use what the debates are over the effectiveness of corporal punishment and detention and such in schools...but neither does he. He saw a story on one of his favorite websites.
But since he is our expert-on-everything, there is no talking to him about it.
