The Right Take: A bill in the Assembly would reduce the penalties students face for punching teachers – VIDEO

On Tuesday, Assembly Education Chairman Tyrone Thompson, D-North Las Vegas, presented a
bill revamping school discipline. Thompson’s bill would decrease the punishment faced by students who physically assault their teachers. The bill would prohibit a school from suspending or expelling a student who injured a teacher or sold drugs for the first offense, which is currently required. Instead, the school must provide a plan of “nonpunitive intervention and support.”
