Nobody is defending violent behavior. Why do you keep saying that they are?[/quote]

Why?  Because the posters who are attacking the school consistently keep dodging any discussion let alone acknowledgement of the student's violence and instead keep making the school out to be the offender, and now demanding "due process" despite a long laundry list of instances of violence.    At best that speaks to misguided priorities, making the school's actions out to be worse than those of the violent student, at worst it is defending violence - and either way it's just plain wrong on their part.[/quote]

You want to talk about A. Other posters want to talk about B. If you don't want to talk about B, does that mean that you are defending B?[/quote]

To your analogy, in this case, A and B are part of the same situation and same conversation, and in fact B is a consequence of A, and as such I'm talking about both A and B, but the other posters don't want to acknowledge A let alone admit B was a consequence of it.  That's pretty disingenuous and intellectually dishonest as far as I'm concerned.[/quote]
