Today, my son was expelled from school for bullying. The event in question took place off campus, during spring break, and was a friendly scuff. The iPhone video they used as evidence clearly showed the other boy laughing his head off and both of them sharing a coke afterwards. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally had it with the redneck bully who's been tormenting me. He was repeatedly poking and pinching me and laughing out loud during class, so I slung him to the ground, pinning him. I got suspended. They only called his parents, who never do anything; my "caring" parents are looking into teen boot camp. FML
Today, I got my ass beat by some kid in my grade. The reason I was targeted? The superintendent, aka my idiot father, suspended him for defending himself in another fight. The kid told me it's not personal, he needed to prove a point that our school doesn't do shit about bullying, As much as I agree with him… FML
Today, I had to pick my son up from school after he beat the crap out of another student. The words that made him go nuts were apparently, "You mad, bro?" FML
Today, my son, who to my great shame is a typical bully, was suspended for bullying a disabled girl. Her father must have been the biggest, meanest, most tattooed ex-marine I've ever seen. He blamed me for bad parenting, and I actually peed myself a little in fear, which he saw too. FML
Today, I was suspended from school for “being involved in a fight.” The other girl beat me up while I didn't do anything to defend myself, for fear of getting in trouble. She got off scot free. FML
Today, as a teacher, I saw a younger boy kick an older boy in the crotch and I reported it in our online system. Despite typical consequences for violence (automatic suspension), the department head, a drinking buddy of the boy's parents, gave him only a single detention. Now, the department head is harassing me for reporting the incident. FML
Today, a student told me to "F*** off!" I reported it to my boss and the student's parent, who is also a teacher at the school. My boss deemed it a minor issue and said we wouldn't be following discipline policy. Now, my boss frequently visits my classroom to bully me, likely due to the two of them being drinking buddies. FML
Today, my daughter was expelled from her school for beating another kindergartener with a Dr. Seuss book. FML
Today, my 14 year-old got a 5-day suspension for fighting. He stood up for an 7th grader who was getting picked on. While the poor kid was eating lunch, they were messing with him when my son stepped in. There were some words said, then a fight. He feels terrible for fighting but I think he was in the right. FML
Today, I finally stood up to the guy who's been bullying me for the last 2 years. Even though he's been caught in the act several times, he never gets punished, so I figured I'd get away with gut-punching him. Nope. An hour later, I was suspended from school. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Appeal their decision! If the video does show that, then they have no grounds to expel.

Ask them to show you the rule that prohibits that off campus off grounds. Also try getting the other kids present to say something as well.

We just had someone in our company fired because he was joking around while being recorded (common practice, everyone wears headsets and is aware) and the crossover between the two jokes was poor and made it sound as if he was making a racist comment. The girl who made the complaint was laughing and joking along at the time, but wasn't recorded. The whole team stepped up to say that it was in fact just banter and poor change of topics and that the guy is probably the nicest in the entire building, but HR operates on 0 tolerance policy and whatever defence you throw at them they go 'Is this not what you say on the tape? It is? That is against our conduct' and that's that. Hopefully, schools aren't as strict and with the combination of recorded evidence of laughter, it being off campus and the other guy testifying in his favour you can't get this turned around, but sadly they could just as well say that 'Well, you can't prove this is not bullying in the start of the video? Doesn't matter that it's off campus, he is our student and it is against our conduct'. Also, is there any precedence to this? Perhaps you just wish to see the guy as laughing his head off and it's actually just a defence-play along mechanism and he is not comfortable with the jokes and is actually the one who reported it?

Ah, United States education. Full of old farts in suits that are scared of accents and loud noises.

The 2 students were awarded participation ribbons. The rest of the student body was offered puppies, coloring books, and counseling if needed.

Good, you don’t want your son at such an (un)educational establishment anyways.

Sue the school or take it to the board. Either way, burry them.
