DD6 was sitting with her friends on playground when a boy in her class came up behind her and put his hands on her neck for a few seconds. The teacher saw and quickly stopped it and told him that is where people breathe and not to do it again. He apologized and ran off. DD thinks he was just doing it as a joke because he is known as being silly and fluffy. We talked about it and I definitely let her know what she needed to do next time. Do I let this go? I’m just bothered that kids do this type of stuff in school. Maybe I’ve forgotten but I do t ever remember kids being in my personal space nonetheless play choking me on the playground. WTH.

yes. You've forgotten, OP.

And teacher handled it appropriately. And your DD is fine. And she tells you things. So just keep your antlers up and you'll be fine.

It was handled. It’s not a problem.

Ok, I need to let it go.

Yes let it go.

What more would there possibly be to do? It's not a criminal or sexual assault. She's not upset about it. It's a minor playground kerfuffle. Please stop projecting your fears onto kids this way.

What more do you want to do?

Pull your daughter out of school?
Show up at the boy’s house to yell at his parents?

I agree--what else can you do? The teacher stepped in immediately, you reinforced with your daughter that it wasn't okay, no one was hurt. I guess you could continue to stew about it, but I'm not sure what that would accomplish.
