Moronic, stupid and incompetent school administrators have not only suspended a boy who saved a blind student from being beaten by a bully, they have also kicked him off of the football team.
Unbelievable.
Yet more evidence of the decline of Western Civilization.
A California teenager who rushed to help a blind classmate being beaten up by a bully has been kicked off the football team.
The high school junior was hailed as a hero for intervening after he saw the 'visually impaired' student being repeatedly hit round the head during lunch break at Huntington Beach High School, California on Wednesday.
(snip)
The unnamed bully was today arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery and released to his parents, according to Huntington Beach Police.
Police officer Jennifer Marlatt told My News LA the incident did not appear to have any connection with the victim's disability but said Austin and his attacker 'have a history of not getting along'.
The officer said the argument had begun after the victim walked past his tormenter, and quickly escalated into a physical fight.
'Another student saw the fight and intervened to prevent the suspect from further assaulting the victim,' Marlatt said in a news release.
Students told KCAL9 the visually impaired student was attacked for no reason.
Grant Morels said: 'I saw like a half circle around a group of kids and I wanted to see what was up. And I see this kid like getting wailed on by another kid.'
No arrest is expected for the intervening teen who has been praised by his peers and online for standing up for his classmate.
But his school took a different approach and are believed to have kicked the have-a-go-hero off the football team after he breached their 'zero-tolerance' policy on violence....
